The downbeat innocence of the Shins is what is most appealing about them, and that feeling pervades the single of "So Says I." Included is the title song, an alternate version of another Shins melody, and the unreleased-except-in-Japan "Mild Child."
The title track is from the Shins' sophomore album "Chutes Too Narrow: a richly melodic rant ("In our darkest hours/we have all asked for some/angel to come/sprinkle his dust all around..."). Nice solid stuff, though hardly their best. "Mild Child" is a pretty, slow melody. And the alternate version of "Chutes"'s "Gone For Good" has a more countryish feel.
The sweet, harmonious music of the Shins can mask anger, depression, or just plain weirdness. They're in pretty good form in "So Says I"; each song is pleasant but not outstanding, including the twangier "Gone" and swirling, slightly peculiar "Child." It's a more rock-based single, rather than the electro-indiepop sound the Shins are known for, and it's a fairly good departure.
"So Says I" is a pleasant but unexciting diversion for the Shins fan. An interesting look at a few odds and bits from this talented indie band.

Bands grow on you, and that exactly what has happened wit the Shins. I 1st started listening to them when i heared one of there songs on the "Scrubs" Cd. They are now my favorite band. Chutes to narrow is a great cd, that has a little more of an electronic feel then Inverted World. It is possibly the best single i have ever had. I cant wait for the album.

"So Says I" is a bit quirky, which is what I love about it.
"Gone for Good" sounds a lot like Uncle Tupelo / John Fogerty with a Shins twist, which I really dig!
Mild Child is a beautiful song, although expect to be melancholy after playing it. Swirling melodies and subliminal synth add a wonderful counterpoint to the steadily strummed acoustic guitar.
The title track is glorious and strongly reminds me of Zumpano reborn.
Buy it!!!

My brother is right.
My brother wrote the first review here. I thought I would chime in and back him up. I have more of an electronic taste, but the very same un-dying love for this rock group. Read more
