The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow (20th Anniversary 'transaparent sun' vinyl)

This 2023 edition of The Shins’ beloved second album, ‘Chutes Too Narrow’, celebrates the album’s 20th anniversary with a fresh remaster from original tapes by Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering, supervised by bandleader James Mercer, and lovely new packaging for the vinyl. Following The Shins’s breakout 2001 debut, ‘Oh, Inverted World’, singer / songwriter / guitarist James Mercer and drummer Jesse Sandoval moved from Albuquerque to Portland, OR, and bassist Neal Langford was replaced with Dave Hernandez (ex-Scared Of Chaka), who played bass on the stand-out track from the first record, ‘New Slang’.
