Why don’t we take a walk?
Oh, you know there’s no one to tell us no
Oh, because you can’t regret something that you’ll forget
And that’s the beauty.

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks- Share the Red
Have you no ears?
Have you no eyes?
You’ve got no idea
Of how to survive

Before the Shins there was Flask Music with a song called the Shins
I picked this little beauty up a good few years ago now and haven’t played it for some time, mainly due to the very poor sound quality, but digging around this morning it caught my eye. Flake Music was the high school incarnation of what were to become the Shins. I think their total output consisted of one EP and album ‘When You Land Here, It’s Time To Return’. The songwriting and structures aren’t as sophisticated as they eventually become when James Mercer hones his skills during his work with the Shins but some of the patterns and signatures are evident here particularly in ‘Spanway Hits’ and the curiously titled ‘The Shins’. My favourite track, although completely throwaway 90’s indie indulgence is ‘Meike’, but I’m posting ‘The Shins’ as well, it’s most like what the Shins became.

I might be late to the Shins party, but better late than never.
