[CRAZY-HORSE]

THE SHINS "port of morrow" cd,2012. #3 US, #11 UK

the shins fourth album, my first, and one of the last recommendations i got from Corey....
i guess the easiest way to describe this one is Modest Mouse maybe?, lots of different pop sounds here, from 70s soft rock,through 80s pop, alt pop and a splash of indi rock.
nice sounds, nice vocals and pretty good lyrical content, still, nothing great on here, but neither is there anything so bad i do not like either, just an all-round good collection of modern indi/alt sounds.
