I just wanted to say that I just heard some of the new Shins album at my radio show (I haven't grabbed the whole album yet though) and it sounds really good, a lot better than their last two albums so whatever Joe Chiccarelli did worked.

Great, anyone know what version of Racoon I gotta go buy now?

Are the silverfaced ones better?

actually, the black & white ones are known as the classic models. if you can gt a silverfaced one that came out before they were bought out by bears, i'd do it. then again there are those re-issued marmots...

Great vocals and production.

ASk joe if he was going for a Pet Sounds vibe, cause that's what I heard...

Very nice....

Not gear related - but if you go to their website, click on the flying ship, and go to 'videos', you can find an amusing interview on the lower right...

anyone have an idea about what sort of processing they used on his voice? sounds like a nice crunchy verb or delay...they used the same thing live when i saw them the other night...its most noticable on the first tune sleeping lessons.

this is why all of my guitars have a single extra switch that is wired to nothing.
