Chutes Too Narrow is a 2003 album by indie rock group the Shins. The album title comes from a lyric in the song "Young Pilgrims." The album was generally well received by critics, garnering an overall score of 88/100 on Metacritic. It has sold about 300,000 copies so far. The album has a much cleaner sound than the Shins' 2001 debut, Oh, Inverted World, largely due to the album's being mixed by producer Phil Ek, who also worked with Built to Spill and Modest Mouse. The album also included violin parts on "Saint Simon," played by Annemarie Ruljancich. Chutes Too Narrow was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.
