The Shins' first album was 2001's Oh, Inverted World, released to critical acclaim for its lyrically deft and jangly pop sound. The song "One by One All Day" was featured in the 2003 film A Guy Thing, starring Jason Lee. Two other songs from this album, ("Caring Is Creepy" and "New Slang") were featured prominently in the 2004 film Garden State, starred and directed by Zach Braff, exposing the music of The Shins to a much wider audience. Their music was also featured in the television series Gilmore Girls. Dave Hernandez, former member of Scared of Chaka, joined the group following the departure of bassist Neal Langford. In 2002, the band relocated to Portland, Oregon.

Chutes Too Narrow followed in 2003 to much fanfare in indie music circles, featuring even more multi-layered lyrics, as well as a musical approach that explored new genres, song structures, and levels of production fidelity. During live shows, the band members (particularly Crandall and Hernandez) are known to frequently swap instruments.[citation needed] Oh, Inverted World appeared at #71 on Pitchfork Media's Top 100 Albums of 2000-2004 and Chutes Too Narrow appeared at #47. In 2006, the band helped to curate an edition of the British All Tomorrow's Parties festival.

In 2007, the band contributed a t-shirt design to the Yellow Bird Project, and donated the profits from their t-shirt sales to the Nature Conservancy.

In a Pitchfork Media interview, Mercer announced that Eric Johnson of fellow Sub Pop band Fruit Bats had joined the Shins.

The band's third album, Wincing the Night Away, was released on January 23, 2007. It debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart with 118,000 copies sold in its first week, the highest sales week and chart position an album released solely on Sub Pop has ever achieved. The album was leaked to the Internet on October 20, 2006 and was available for pre-order on iTunes, with an extra track.It was nominated for a 2008 Grammy award in the category of Best Alternative Music Album.

In 2007 the band did a Take-Away show acoustic video session shot by Vincent Moon, and recorded a version of "Little Boxes" for the Showtime series Weeds. On November 27, 2007, the group was featured on a Darfur charity album released by Waxploitation.

On January 24, 2008, "The Past and Pending" was played at the funeral of Heath Ledger.

On June 20, 2008, the band announced that they were leaving Sub Pop Records for James Mercer's own label, Aural Apothecary.

"Since then it's been a book you read in reverse, so you understand less as the pages turn. Or movie so crass and awkwardly cast that even I could be the star."

God that's good!

[taktickle]

The verse "warm light on a winter's day" represented by the harmonica right after is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard...that i remember. I can just FEEL it...

YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

song speaks for itself.. I truly wonder if there is a God, does he enjoy the sadnesses of humanity.

[Ryuhza]

i've watched this video almost a dozen times, and i only just now noticed that at the start of the video, he's pacing in a continuous circle around his trough, day and night, wearing a path into the grass. like he was so alone he was almost in a trance, until the other came along...
