Listen to “Name For You,” the latest single from The Shins’ new album Heartworms
James Mercer’s beloved indie pop outfit The Shins returns this year with their first album since 2012’s Port of Morrow. Heartworms is out March 10th on Aural Apothocary / Columbia Records, and the band today just shared its second single, following the Halloween-centered “Dead Alive.”
The new “Name For You” is a shimmering nugget of pop perfection in three minutes and change — a bouncing beat, radiant synthesizers and Mercer’s stratospheric voice delivering the hook. Give it a listen below, and check out the band’s 2017 tour dates so far.
