- Louder Than War ‘Believe the hype, they are that good’
– scoop.co.nz Fronted by founding member James
Mercer, and featuring an all new line-up, the band is touring
in celebration of their fifth album
Heartworms.Produced by Mercer,
Heartwormswas released March 10 this year to a wave of acclaim: Entertainment Weekly called
Heartworms the “band’s boldest album yet” and “a rewarding and singular
addition to the Shins’ catalog,” Rolling
Stone lauded its “home-brewed feel, heavy on Beach Boys
grandeur, New Wave kicks, squiggly synth-pop and warm-weather soft rock – with
lyrics tenderly balanced between midlife malaise and youthful romanticism. The
result is some of the most charming music he's ever made,” while Time Magazineopined “Heartworms works on a grander scale, with ornate sonic
tableaux.” Lead single
Dead Alive has been an alt radio mainstay this
year and sure to be a set highlight.
Heartworms is
available everywhere now via Aural Apothecary/Columbia Records through Sony
Music Entertainment NZ.
