Since that first record, singer\/songwriter\/guitarist James Mercer and drummer Jesse Sandoval moved from Albuquerque to Portland, OR and bassist Neal Langford was replaced with Dave Hernandez (ex-Scared Of Chaka), who played bass on the stand-out track from the first record, “New Slang.” \u003ci\u003eChutes Too Narrow\u003c\/i\u003e, their heavily anticipated follow-up, was recorded in James’ basement home studio, with later mixing assistance from Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, David Cross, Les Savy Fav, etc.). And, with 10 songs, clocking in at just over 30 minutes, the new record is a brief yet entirely scintillating glimpse at chiming, reflective and perfectly skewed pop innovation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SUB POP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67497791881434,"sku":"THE-SHINS-CHUTES-TOO-NARROW-LP","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4709\/4490\/files\/image_5cc77b86-6e81-475c-bd2a-cea730d18a37.png?v=1791231545","url":"https:\/\/metaledgemag.com\/products\/the-shins-chutes-too-narrow-lp","provider":"Metal Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
