The Shins are a US indie band hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Originally known as [a604918], they later changed their name to [a937344] before settling on The Shins in 1997.
Formed in the mid-90s, The Shins quickly gained popularity with their unique blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities. Their distinctive sound, characterized by catchy melodies and introspective lyrics, has earned them a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
With several critically acclaimed albums under their belt, including "Oh, Inverted World" and "Chutes Too Narrow," The Shins continue to captivate audiences with their infectious hooks and heartfelt songwriting. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, The Shins are sure to leave an indelible mark on your musical journey.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

This 2023 edition of The Shins’s beloved second album,&nbsp;Chutes Too Narrow, celebrates the album’s 20th anniversary with a fresh remaster by Adam Ayan, supervised by band leader James Mercer, and lovely new packaging for the vinyl.Following The Shins’s breakout 2001 debut,&nbsp;Oh, Inverted World, singer/songwriter/guitarist James Mercer and drummer Jesse Sandoval moved from Albuquerque to Portland, OR and bassist Neal Langford was replaced with Dave Hernandez (ex-Scared Of Chaka), who played bass on the stand-out track from the first record, “New Slang.”&nbsp;Chutes Too Narrow, their heavily anticipated follow-up, was recorded in James’ basement home studio, with later mixing assistance from Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, David Cross, Les Savy Fav, etc.). And, with 10 songs, clocking in at just over 30 minutes,&nbsp;Chutes Too Narrow&nbsp;is a brief yet entirely scintillating glimpse at chiming, reflective and perfectly skewed pop innovation.It was released to widespread acclaim in 2003, garnering Pitchfork’s Best New Music, four stars from Rolling Stone, and raves from the New York Times, MOJO, the Village Voice, SPIN, and tons more. It subsequently made best-of-the-decade lists from The AV Club, NME, Paste, Pitchfork, and Uncut.
