The Albuquerque six-piece are gearing up for their first release in four years
The Shins have teased more new music ahead of their much-anticipated fifth album “Heartworms”. The good news: The Shins are back with a new album. The not-so-good news: it’s not out until March 10th. So we still have a couple months to wait but we have heard two singles from the album so far—“Name For You” and “Dead Alive”. Seemingly intent on leaking their whole album before it streets, The Shins have taken to Minnesota Public Radio to play another new song.

The band haven’t put out a full-length record since 2012’s ‘Port Of Morrow’, but frontman James Mercer confirmed last week that they were releasing a new album.

Anticipation for new material was ramped up earlier after The Shins‘ official Facebook page shared a teaser clip of what appears to be a clip from another new song. Entitled ‘The Fear’, the 10-second clip features a psychedelic backdrop as reverb-drenched vocals play over the top – the lyrics “squanders the deal” can be made out.

From Heartworms, coming 10th March

The Shins are back with the group’s first new album since 2012’s Port Of Morrow. “Heartworms” is set to drop on March 10th through Aural Apothecary/Columbia Records. In making the announcement today, the band shared the joyfully infectious pop cut “Name For You” as a lyric video.

Frontman James Mercer produced Heartworms on his own, a first since The Shins‘ 2001 debut album, Oh, Inverted World. He says the new music was inspired, in part, by growing older and parenthood. “Name For You” is a hopeful ode of empowerment to Mercer’s daughters.

“Given all the drops in the ocean, better take it one sip at a time,” Mercer sings. “Somebody with an antique notion comes along to tighten the line, they’re just afraid of you speaking your mind.”

This is the second song the band has shared from Heartworms. In October, The Shins released a Halloween Themed Video/song “Dead Alive.”

Everyone’s favorite early 2000’s indie rock band is back with their brand new track, “Dead Alive.” The song feels like classic Shins with light and airy vocals, easy going guitars, and a melody that will have you dusting off your Garden State DVD by the time it’s over. The video is probably one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while, as it’s filled with awesome miniature effects and late 70s’ charm

The Shins have given us a treat of a new track “Dead Alive,” from their forthcoming album, due in 2017.

The band’s last album, Port Of Morrow, was released in 2012. Since then, Shins front man James Mercer released After The Disco, the second collection of songs he collaborated on with Danger Mouse, as Broken Bells. The Shins also contributed a new song to the Wish I Was Here soundtrack in 2014, and covered “The Word” by The Beatles for the Netflix animated series Beat Bugs.

The band’s forthcoming album, does not yet have a release date or a title, however it will be released in 2107.
