Album Review
The Shins' "So Says I" was the lead single off of 2003's acclaimed Chutes Too Narrow. The title track is taken from the album and is an insanely bouncy song with some very woozy vocal harmonies. "Mild Child" was recorded in singer James Mercer's basement. It's a lo-fi, dreamily melodic ballad that is shrouded in an atmospheric haze of reverb, and the ramshackle acoustic take on Chutes Too Narrow's "Gone for Good" was also recorded in Mercer's basement acoustic. A fine preview for a fine album by a fine band.
Customer Reviews
"Mild Child"
This is more a review of the song "Mild Child", as it is amazing. Perfect lyrics and a stunningly different style than previous releases. If nothing else, this proves The Shins can do whatever they want musically and make it work. The song is pure beauty.
So Says I - EP
I absolutely love The Shins. Anything they do is great!!!!
Summary of a Band
This album has all the elements of The Shins. It defines them. So Says I has the soft indie sound created after Flake Music, Gone for Good is an excellent example of the pop acoustic sound, and Mild Child is a preview of what is to come in Wincing The Night Away (Phantom/Dreamy).
