The Shins - "Simple Song"

[HC]

First single off their 4th album Port of Morrow. They released this today and it officially goes for adds next week.

I shouldn't over-hype songs I've only heard a few times, but I absolutely love this. It might be my favorite single from them yet. It has a little bit of a 70's classic rock feel to it, but it's undeniably still Shins-sounding.

Until there's a better link, Rolling Stone has it up on their soundcloud w/ article: www.rollingstone.com/music/news/listen-the-shins-bold-new-single-simple-song-20120109

This is a good song but I'm not into this sound anymore. I'm so over the folk-indie thing. Bring on the electro indie!

Adam, we're on the same page the vast majority of the time and you know I love you, but I couldn't disagree more. I am SO OVER the electro sounds dominating Top 40 radio and they don't need to overrun Alternative too. Is it too much to ask for a nice guitar-based rock song?

As far as this song's concerned, I like it. Nothing spectacular but enjoyable enough to put on my iPod.

Trust me, the electro used in Alternative music is VERY different than the stuff you're hearing in Pitbull songs!
