The Shins are marking significant milestones in their career, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album 'Oh, Inverted World' and announcing a limited 7" release for their 30th anniversary featuring unreleased tracks. Frontman James Mercer has reflected on past moments, including his discomfort with a scene from 'Garden State,' and has also ventured into children's literature with his first book. The band recently performed at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, continuing their active presence in live music.
