The Shins to Reissue ‘Oh, Inverted World’ With Liner Notes, Handwritten Lyrics
This June, The Shins will commemorate their 2001 debut, Oh, Inverted World, with a newly remastered version. For a serial nit-picker like James Mercer, it was a blessed occasion to go back and tweak everything that’s been tormenting him for 20 years. A perfectionist’s ultimate fantasy. The Oh, Inverted World remaster sounds the way Mercer intended. According to the Shins’ label, Sub Pop, the Shins’ singer-songwriter-guitarist was “never quite satisfied with the sonics of the original.” “This record gave me the life that I never really dreamed I would have,” Mercer said in a statement. “It opened me up to the whole world and gave me validation. It’s also something that stands as a bit of a pinnacle for our band. You release that first record and it’s so well embraced, but you’re a...

The Foo Fighters musician plays all three in the gritty new lyric video for “Eazy Sleazy,” as Jagger begs for a lobotomy after a year spent learning how to cook in his home “prison.” We can relate! “It’s hard to put into words what recording this song with Sir Mick means to me,” Grohl said in a statement. “It’s beyond a dream come true. Just when I thought life couldn’t get any crazier.” Watch the video below...
