New Slang Video & Audio

See the Shins perform the song live on Letterman.

This is a radio story that took a good look at the Shins before they embarked on a tour in 2005, just after the breakthrough success that came with Chutes Too Narrow and the exposure from Garden State.

If you like the Shins, you'll probably like Broken Bells, because James Mercer started this new band as a "side project"—rest assured, they're pretty successful in their own right.
