http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.43306&rws=%2Fthe-shins%2Ftop-tracks.rssWith their jangly and melodic pop the Shins helped bring the pop traditions of 1960s pop bands &#8212; groups like the Beatles, the Zombies, and the Beach Boys &#8212 to a new generation of music fans under the catchall music sobriquet of “indie rock.” <br><br> The Shins formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the late 1990s under the name Flake Music. The group &#8212; featuring singer-songwriter James Mercer, bassist Neal Langford, keyboardist Martin Crandall, and drummer Jesse Sandoval &#8212; released one album, <I>When You Land Here, It's Time To Return</I> (1997) before changing its name to the Shins and signing a deal with Sub Pop Records. <br><br> Released in 2001, the Shins' proper debut, <I>Oh, Inverted World</I>, was a critical success, with haunting pop numbers such as "New Slang" and "Caring is Creepy." The album not only caught the attention of McDonald's &#8212; which placed "New Slang" in a television spot, but it also helped re-establish the profile of Sub Pop, which had been without a marquee artist for much of the late 1990s. <br><br> After touring behind <I>World</I>, the band parted ways with Langford and brought in Dave Hernandez to work on <I>Chutes Too Narrow</I> (Number 86, 2003), a less sleepy-eyed and more bustling follow-up. The Shins' biggest breakthrough, however, came the next year, when two of the group's songs were included in the winsome Zach Braff vehicle <I>Garden State</I>. The film's soundtrack was certified platinum, though its success riled some Shins fans, some of whom felt that the band's appeal was partly due to its well-kept secrecy. <br><br> Three years after <I>Garden State</I>'s name-drop, the Shins released <I>Wincing the Night Away</I> (2007), which debuted at Number Two on the Billboard sales chart, a first in Sub Pop history and received a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album.
