The ShinsOh, Inverted World Limited 20th Anniversary Vinyl LP

Overview:

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