Mercer was already branching out, working with producer and multi-instrumentalist Danger Mouse as Broken Bells, which released two albums and an EP during the s even as the Shins periodically returned with original material. With Mercer as the Shins' primary songwriter, the group developed a more focused, crafted sound than Flake Music's charming, if somewhat rambling, collaborative style.
Crandall, as well as Scared of Chaka's Dave Hernandez and Ron Skrasek, filled out the Shins' lineup; however, Hernandez and Skrasek left after a short while, due to the success of their main project.
By , Flake Music essentially disbanded and Langford also joined the Shins. Sub Pop's Jonathan Poneman caught the San Francisco date of the tour and asked the Shins to contribute a single to the label's Single of the Month Club, which eventually became an offer to release their single "New Slang" and their debut album, Oh, Inverted World.
The release of the singles "Know Yr Onion! The album appeared in fall and was their first to reach the Billboard charts.

Port of Morrow arrived in March and reached number three on the Billboard charts. Also in , the group returned with "Dead Alive," the first single from their fifth album, Heartworms. Produced by Mercer, the album arrived in March on Aural Apothecary and peaked at number 20 on the Billboard However, the single generated enough attention that Mercer felt it necessary to assemble a full band.
Martin Crandall was brought into the fold on keyboards, and Dave Hernandez frontman of local punk legends Scared of Chaka, which had played dozens of shows with Flake Music was given bass duties. Neal Langford was selected as his replacement, and it was this lineup that saw the group embark on a tour with Modest Mouse.
