Haven't mentioned this project yet but Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) is by far my favourite producer of the last 5 or so years. Have always liked The Shins too- though not as much as a lot of geeky indie fanboys.
Single The High Road has been stuck in my head since I first heard it. It just has a classic laidback sound with a gorgeous hook. WATCH THE RATHER COOL VIDEO HERE
The album is released on Monday 8 March. With-a-tracklisting-like-this:
The High Road
Vaporize
Your Head Is On Fire
The Ghost Inside
Sailing To Nowhere
Trap Doors
Citizen
October
Mongrel Heart
The Mall & Misery
I anticipate something akin to Beck's nice last album Modern Guilt- also produced by DM. but I could be wrong. LISTEN TO SOME OF MY FAVE DANGER MOUSE TRACKS HERE
