Kyle Meredith With... James Mercer of The Shins

<p><a href="https://consequenceofsound.net/artist/james-mercer/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">James Mercer</a> sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about <a href="https://consequenceofsound.net/artist/the-shins/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Shins</a>’ new single, "The Great Divide". The singer-songwriter explains how it musically conjures both nostalgia and futurism, and how he’s slowly been closing the musical gap between The Shins and <a href="https://consequenceofsound.net/artist/broken-bells/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Broken Bells</a>. Mercer also discusses a potential 20th anniversary edition of <em>Oh Inverted World</em>, whether we'll see a new Shins album anytime soon, the nearly finished LP from Broken Bells, and his recent work with <a href="https://consequenceofsound.net/artist/bruce-hornsby/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Bruce Hornsby</a>.</p> <p><strong>Follow on&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KyleMeredith/"><strong>Facebook</strong></a><strong>&nbsp; |&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/kyle-meredith-with-672606"><strong>Podchaser</strong></a><strong>&nbsp; |&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://twitter.com/kylemeredith"><strong>Twitter</strong></a></p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/app">https://anchor.fm/app</a>
