artist:the shins
album: oh inverted world
i bought this album because of the garden state soundtrack. i hated it on first listen, and didn't pay much attention to the shins for a bit after that. somehow or another, the band worked its way back into my life with chutes too narrow, and i decided to go back and revisit this album today.
i think what i hated about this album is what i love about it now-the lo-fi sound. its the least accessible of the shins' releases, but I'm okay with that these days. I'm thinking it has a lot to do with my "grown up" tastes. I'm noticing more and more that everything-from the food that i eat to the music that i listen to-everything i consume is more "adult" than ever before. as I'm 31 years old, its probably about time that i started to grow up.
i had a good time listening to this album. i enjoy it a lot more than i ever realized. i am fairly certain that ill spend a lot more time listening. i suggest you pull it out of your collection and give it a spin, too. i know you have it. everyone who saw garden state does.
