Shins frontman James Mercer commuted every week from his home city of Portland to producer Greg Kurstin's Los Angeles studio to record Port of Morrow. "That sounds arduous but it wasn't too bad," Mercer told Q magazine. "I would nap, read. In fact one of the songs, 'No Way Down,' came about on a flight. I was reading this article about the American trade deficit and the lyrics just came out of me - which was cool as that song was causing a lot of trouble."
