James Mercer

The Shins' 2001 debut album came at the crossroads of '90s slacker rock and the prettier, more earnest sounds of the 2000s indie boom. It was a game-changer at the time, and it plays like a greatest hits today...

“This record symbolized a very special moment in my life,“ says The Shins‘ James Mercer. "A watershed moment for sure.”

Featuring archival footage and new performances and interviews from Beastie Boys, White Stripes, Run the Jewels, Alabama Shakes, My Morning Jacket, Tears for Fears, Metallica, Jason Isbell, Nile Rodgers & Chic, The xx, and more.

James Mercer calls it ”a blend of futurism and nostalgia. We used everything from vintage synthesizers to iPhones, from a sixties Ludwig kit to an 808.”
