Album Notes & Community Reviews

The long-standing collaboration between The Shins' James Mercer and producer Danger Mouse yields a remarkably lush, retro-leaning psychedelic pop record. The meticulously crafted, warm indietronica production provides a bittersweet and melancholic atmosphere, rich with classic 1970s studio influences.
