Radio Paradise

I've heard a track on KEXP and didn't mind it, but also needed to be told it was the Shins (not always a bad thing). Now I want to go hear more of it.

I did not hear Bill say that, a bit of a surprise because he's always positive.
This is a good pop song (pop is a genre too) his voice seems more mature here than on earlier recordings,
The Shins flew under my radar until the past year or so, but they just don't grab me
