THE SHINS

[Download "Eating Styes From Elephant Eyes" from Nature Bears a Vacuum] EXPIRED

Yes kids there are other Shins albums besides Chutes Too Narrow. In fact, this track comes from what is in my opinion their craziest album to date. In 1998 Omnibus released Nature Bears a Vacuum. If you only know current Shin's, this album may take a little getting used to. Nature.. is definetly more lo-fi, more experimental, and more obnoxious than what you may be used to. The tracks are shorter than your typical Shins song. The album bounces all over the place, but remains upbeat. There also seems to be an abundance of slide whistle on most tracks. Regardless of what your little sister says, this is a good album. Any real Shins fan should have a copy in their collection.
