THE SHINS EPK
Albuquerque, New Mexico Native Band The Shins Are Back on Tour!
The popular indie rock band The Shins are kicking off their new tour on May 13th in St. Petersburg, Florida. They are promoting their fifth studio album Heartworms, which was released in March, and has already received critical acclaim! This is the first album by the band in five years, and it was written and produced by lead singer James Mercer himself. This long awaited album consists of 11 catchy songs, that hearken back to their first album Oh, Inverted World (2001). It can be purchased at http://theshins.com/#tour, where listeners can finally experience their new hit singles “Name for You,” and “Painting a Hole.”
Despite the five year hiatus, James Mercer’s Heartworms does not disappoint. It has a fresh new sound, with some traces of nostalgia, that dedicated fans are sure to love. Featuring their new keyboardist, Patti King, their performances will be a whole new experience for fans who have seen them previously. They will be sharing the stage with indie pop husband and wife duo, Tennis who has recently released their fourth studio album Yours Conditionally.
Heartworms is available to purchase on their official website store https://the-shins-us.myshopify.com/, and Newbury Comics for vinyl copies, or digitally downloaded at Amazon.com and iTunes. For any press inquiries please send all correspondence to Laura Eldeiry who can be reached by email at laura@nastylittleman.com.
