The Shins Announce New Album!

How long has it been since our Shins craving had its fix? Eleven years since acclaimed debut Oh, Inverted World and almost five since Wincing the Night Away. Well, it's time to stop stressing (if you were) or just remember that the band actually still exists. Sure, most of the original members have left and frontman James Mercer has been around with Broken Bells. But there is nothing quite like another Shins album, and today we now know that we're going to get a new one next March.


The announcement was made today through a newsletter on the band's website. We get few details as these things typically go, however we did get a tracklisting out of it. If you were lucky in the past few years to see Mercer live, you most likely heard some early incarnations of these songs.


Tracklisting
1. The Rifle's Spiral
2. Simple Song
3. It's Only Life
4. No Way Down
5. September
6. Bait and Switch
7. Fall of '82
8. For a Fool
9. 40 Mark Strasse
10. Port of Morrow

Check out an instudio they did with us the year The Current launched back in 2005!
