The Shins is an American indie rock band formed in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, in 1996.
The band is the project of singer-songwriter James Mercer, who has served as the
band's sole constant member throughout numerous line-up changes. The band's
current line-up consists of Mercer, alongside Yuuki Matthews (bass, keyboards),
Patti King (keyboards), and Jon Sortland (drums). They are based in Portland,
Oregon.

Mercer described the Shins as a "pop project" from the beginning. The
group were inspired by any and all music that they discovered. "Everything we
listen to [...] makes its way in somehow, but we've been inspired by a bunch of
bands who basically just keep reinventing the same thing," said Mercer.

The group received comparisons to the "pop revivalists" at the Elephant 6
Recording Collective early in their career, such as The Apples in Stereo, whilst
Mercer's vivid, often surrealist lyrics and infectious melodies drew comparisons
to the songwriting style of Robert Pollard from Guided by Voices.
