Just a quick Shins update for whoever has been napping. Port of Morrow will be released on March 20th 2012 on Mercers self owned label Aural Apothecary. Remember a year or two ago when he said he'd be remastering and re-releasing Flake Music's When You Land Here It's Time to Return? Did that ever happen? That first Flake Music full length and the EP are essentially the first Shins albums. It's always been the James Mercer show. He doesn't really seem to give much of a fuck about who he's playing with. Anyways theres three new songs captured on video (i'll put one up) and a finished version of Simple Song available for stream or purchase. I'm really stoked for this album. I can't believe its been five years since Wincing the Night away. I can remember perfectly how that album fit into becoming the basic soundtrack of my life for the following year. 2012's gonna be a good one.
