Claude says:The Shins caught you with Wincing the Night Away right when it dropped in 2007—a record built on fingerpicked indie-pop precision and James Mercer's gift for finding melancholy in the everyday, anchored by the gravitational pull of Australia and the ache of Phantom Limb. Nearly two decades later you're still spinning it, proof that a perfect indie-rock album doesn't age, it just settles deeper.
