The record
Title: The Shins – Chutes Too Narrow

Cultural Facts:
-
Studio Lore: James Mercer functioned like a one-man control center—writing and shaping parts with tight oversight, then scaling it into a touring band.
-
Scene Ecology: Part of the early-2000s indie pipeline where small labels, college radio, and touring circuits replaced mainstream gatekeepers.
-
Media Narrative: Their placement in early-2000s film/TV culture turned the band into shorthand for “indie” in the public imagination.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
