That album was like a warm embrace from a long-lost pal. True to its title, all of the songs were of a piece, seeming to inhabit one landscape, with an invitingly similar sound throughout. Chutes is more far-reaching and decidedly eclectic. Each song is essentially its own genre exercise. There's singer-songwriter James Mercer's surprisingly Perry Farrell-ish wail on the almost indie-metal opener, \"Kissing the Lipless\"; the lovely pedal steel lilt to \"Gone for Good\"; the moody folktronica of \"Those to Come\"; and the Cars-gone-rockabilly riffing on \"Turn a Square.\" The strongest song, the acoustic \"Young Pilgrims,\" is stripped-down and brilliant. On every tune, Mercer packs more hooks and melodic invention than most bands do on one album. As a whole, it's an even better record than Inverted World. --Mike McGonigal\n\nProduct Description\n\nThis is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut full-length, \"Oh, Inverted World\". With ten songs, clocking in at just over 30 minutes, the new record is a brief yet entirely scintillating glimpse at chiming, reflective, and perfectly skewed pop innovation. It's exactly what Shins fans are looking for and more.\n\nReview\n\n\"A sun-blasted work of classic pop.\" -- Time Out\n\n\"In any era this would be rightly hailed as a classic.\" -- The Fly\n\n\"Intelligent, melodic, and offbeat have indie rocks saviors arrived?\" -- Q\n\n\"Sunshine pop excellence from New Mexicos finest.
