Wincing The Night Away by The Shins

We don't normally recommend albums based on the weight of one song, but if the first single (Free Download) off this album is any indication, it'll be just as good as their first two efforts. Wincing The Night Away by The Shins ($10; Jan. 23) is their first album since Natalie Portman "changed your life" with "New Slang" in Garden State, and it sounds as though it will bring the classic Shins sound mixed with more mature, heavier melodies. If you're more the iTunes Store type, you'll receive a bonus song by pre-ordering the album with them.
