Featured Release This Week From The Shins

facebook.com/theshins

James Mercer formed The Shins in 1996 as a side project.  At the time, Flake Music was Mercer's main band.  That band ended in 1999, and the first full-length record from The Shins came out in 2001.  The band became a critical and commercial success.  Following the third Shins album in 2007, Mercer broke up the original group, not returning (with The Shins) until five years later with a new record and a new lineup.  In between, he collaborated with Danger Mouse in Broken Bells.  Now, after another five years The Shins' fifth album, Heartworms​ is out, with eleven tracks of creative and adventurous pop songs.
