The Shins Oh, Inverted World Limited 20th Anniversary Light Blue Vinyl LP

Overview:

 ‘Oh, Inverted World’, the earth-shattering, indie rock-redefining 2001
debut album by The Shins, is presented here in its finest form,
dressed up all nice for its 20th birthday. The classic tunes get new life
by way of a full remastering job under band leader James Mercer’s
watchful eye, the art is given a little extra zest via a die-cut jacket and
a classy inner sleeve and the package is rounded off with a big old
booklet with vintage photos, handwritten lyrics and more.  The music, of course, is obviously essential. Aside from a friendly
reminder that this is the album with the smash hit ‘New Slang’, as
heard in the hit movie ‘Garden State’, the remastering job truly makes
this the album James Mercer always wanted it to be. Never quite
satisfied with the sonics of the original, Mercer took the 20th
Anniversary of the album as his opportunity to finally set the (literal)
record straight. And the results sound stellar: great for new fans and
well worth the attention of those already on board.  For old times’ sake, here’s what the label had to say about this record
back when it came out: “Hailing from Albuquerque, NM, The Shins
sprung from the ashes of Flake/Flake Music in 1997 (though those
previous incarnations date back nearly a decade) - same members,
different instruments, different approach. Counterpoint guitars have
given way to a single guitar pitted against calculated keyboard
passages; swarming indie rock machinations led to pop-based
melodic endeavours (who knew?).”  Includes the hit single ‘New Slang’ which, along with ‘Caring is
Creepy’, was featured on the Grammy-winning, platinum-selling
‘Garden State’ soundtrack.  Remastered by Bob Ludwig with personal supervision from bandleader James Mercer.
