The Shins are a band that deserve far more recognition
than they currently receive from the general public.
Already an indie favourite with a large number of indie
fans 'in the know', they've been going since 1997 and have
already released three popular albums, the most recent of
which is the intriguingly titled Wincing The Night Away,
which amazingly hit number two on the US Billboard charts
upon release. From this album comes latest release
'Australia'.
Although it's far from certain whether the band could
manage the same feat in the UK, it's still a really
fantastically bouncy and catchy indie pop tune that shows
off exactly why The Shins are such an attractive prospect
to the Americans and indeed to an increasing number of
fans in the UK, as evidenced by their upcoming sold out
shows around the country and abroad. It's a funky song,
it's simple yet clever, and it's the mark of a very
talented band.
