Another fan of the Shins chiming in. I've got all 3 releases but I
think "Chutes Too Narrow" is by far the poppiest and most
Audities-friendly of the 3. Having said that, they're all desert
island discs for me.
I've been busy/lurking of late, but has anyone here mentioned the new
release by Albert Hammond Jr,, the guitarist for the Strokes? It's
called "Yours To Keep, and I think Auditeers would adore it. I'm also
digging Sondre Lerche's recent release "The Phantom Punch," which owes
its very heavy (and to my ears, very appealing) Elvis Costello-ian
influence to Sondre's gig opening for Elvis on tour.
So there you go - some recommendations for y'all. Two of the best of
'07 for me thus far.
Back to lurking!
Sign me,
Swamped
