“Sea Legs” – The Shins – Wincing The Night Away
I've been waiting six years for James Mercer to write this song. "Sea Legs" sounds like Oh Inverted World properly evolved, with the Shins expanding their sound and scope to Decemberists-level heights. Instead of the quick three-minute burst typical of the songs from the first two Shins albums, Mercer allowed “Sea Legs” to stretch and expand over five minutes, gliding in and out of different movements, and the result is one of the finest songs he has ever written.
