The Shins: Oh, Inverted World

LP Record The sound they always wanted It has been 20 years since the release of The Shins' debut album "Oh, Inverted World". To mark this anniversary, the Portland, Oregon band is releasing a reissue of the debut – now considered an indie pop milestone – completely remastered on CD and vinyl with new artwork, booklet and packaging. "Oh, Inverted World" originally came out on 19 June 2001, though Shins frontman James Mercer started writing the songs back in 1998. The band produced the record themselves. Among the best-known of the album's eleven tracks are "Caring Is Creepy" and "New Slang", both of which featured in Zach Braff's 2004 film "Garden State".
