Norwegian streaming service WIMP has exclusively made available The Shins’ new album. So I thought I’d have a listen. I am disappointed.

Should I deepen my thoughts?

I just think it’s too much focus on the production and not so many good songs. Sounds like they’ve had comfortable chairs sitting around the studio making high-fives for every edit that they could produce to make the song better. It’s become common practise.

Or is it just the fever of mine that is shaking my foundation!?!

Hope I get well soon!
Ta da.
