Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - p.71

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The melodies are very nearly on par with the curlicues and knockout drops of the band's breakthrough, and Mercer is still singing so lithe and refined you'd think Ray Charles had never existed."

Spin - p.p.87

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[W]istful....WINCING is a purposefully low-impact affair. On the gorgeous finale, 'A Comet Appears,' Mercer picks at a nimble guitar line like it's 3 a.m...."

Q - p.100

4 stars out of 5 -- "[S]uper-smart pop music the way they used to make it 20 years ago....The Shins deliver anthems to little people in troubled times. Life-changing, for sure."

Uncut - p.72

4 stars out of 5 -- "[E]verything is awash in shimmering production, harmonic flourishes and unexpected textures."

Alternative Press - p.109

"[T]he bright points are plenty bright..."

Q (Magazine) - p.87

Ranked #08 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2007."

Mojo (Publisher) - p.100

4 stars out of 5 -- "There are twists, but no clutter, just a gentle lyricism leaving every song lie from the inside. WINCING THE NIGHT AWAY is, on its own quiet terms, a little landmark."
