Proof The Shins will never release a bad song.

[@aboosermc2794]

Bob Hargenblatz Lol the entirity of port of morrow is nothing compared to the rest of their music, also some of wincing the night away is quite shit

[@LordSprakIV]

Wincing The Night Away is their best album, but Port of Morrow is relatively weak

[@saxfreak01]

Couple of weak tracks on PoM but September, 40 Mark Strasse, PoM, Rifle's Spiral, It's Only Life are up there with Mercer's finest songs, and most of the rest of it is solid stuff too. September is a magnificent song. It could be a Richard Thompson song from the early 70s, and praise doesn't come any higher than that, in my book.

[@gordiemeow]

I'd like to make an argument for 40 Mark Strasse. It's beautiful AND interconnected to the other lyrics on the album. It's not their best, but it's still a hell of good song.

[@saxfreak01]

I agree, it's a fantastic song. Must admit it took me a while to get into the album, and I can understand some fans thinking it's a bit too slick and close to AOR in places, but most of the songs are good to excellent and that's all that really matters. Also, I liked the more direct, but still poetic, lyrics. The old Shins lyrics did get a bit close to word salad at times.

[@mikailstacy8245]

I'm 81 years old and love this band the shins. I'm just a little scared I'll never get to see their 6th studio album. If they keep the trend of releasing an album every 4 or 5 years

[@josephstalin7803]

Mikail Stacy I bloody hope it comes soon me

[@Riley-nw6jv]

Mikail Stacy its coming march so dont worry

[@samuelweinstein4405]

Heartworm is coming out on the 10th of March. :D

[@laurenperez9755]

Mikail Stacy aww

[@LandonKirkTillema]

Samuel Weinstein tomorrow ❤️

[@pixelbros1993]

the shins are going psychedelic Lord help me I can't handle how good this is.

[@BohemianConspiracy]

I though that Hawkwind were/are the psychedelic Lords ?

[@ashleyawbrey1200]

They always have been.

[@doodletownpipers]

Check out a little ol' album called Oh, Inverted World

[@mocktheturtle5910]

Ikr what's happening this sounds like freakin ELO Life is gud.

[@MrPatters]

I just realized this is a sequel to the Simple Song music video because James Mercer is dead in that one and it shows his grave at the beginning of this one.

[@rodnarok6945]

Heartworms is a 10/10 album, how could it not be viral or have more visualizations?

[@smallestcharles]

For real it’s so underrated, given how terrible some of the generic stuff that blows to today is it’s shocking to me it isn’t huge.

[@heather7773]

i had to take a double take, this is actually real i'm so happy!!

[@deannasingleton9689]

Right!?

[@bmx3347]

You didn't believe that a music video was real? Hmm...

[@heather7773]

+Aaron Spransy I was just very surprised, I've been waiting forever for them to upload a new song- saw the photo of him on a couch on Facebook too, so I had to take a double take is all

[@jats44]

i understood what you meant, bergie.

[@tiagojoset.7249]

The Shins's back!

[@xCandieAndiex]

one of the most underrated Shin's song yet

[@benoitstecken4093]

Love it at 2:15 when the organ pops in and a weird guy starts to laugh!

[@erikaanje]

It's like a combination of all the albums together.... mushed up into one glorious shins masterpiece

[@Jon-zc2sz]

So i have the best day in years, and come home and see this on my recommended list.. Oh my god yes

[@MSU92AZ]

Need the new album to come out NOW can't wait...

[@6626A0]

Andy Zagar same

[@graceritch9412]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH JAMES RUSSELL MERCER EVERYTHING YOU PUT OUT IS PURE GOLD

[@chaosinorderrr]

Thank You Based James

[@maikonrodrigues5042]

Não tem nada mais solitário do que sua banda favorita ser The Shins.

[@BRGhostito]

Maikon Rodrigues É, realmente

[@vitoriafranca2498]

Eu tava falando com os meus amigos agora, e eles não ficaram tipo "Oque é The Shins" garota?"

[@danielgranato9002]

eles são incríveis! tenho o Chutes Too Narrow e Oh, Inverted World em vinil. eles não tem absolutamente uma música ruim

[@johannwerner9375]

provavelmente uma das bandas mais injustiçadas do mundo

[@vitoriafranca2498]

É um banda muito boa, eu dou um ibope do caramba pra essa banda.

[@amsterdamnedtv2518]

It's like the 60's, in 2016. I love it.

[@TheCanterlonian]

Some random number texted me and gave me a link to this.

[@onionsturgeon4306]

Well, rest assured whoever they are, they have a great taste in music.

[@theliberatedplanet]

Same here, arrived in a text.

[@MaximSorokinLite]

Welcome back, guys. You were missed!

[@jessikeith9144]

I've been listening to this on repeat for 15 hours. Still going strong.

[@ghost2031]

Ha, same here, and i thought i'm the only one. Listened over 100 times already. Listening to it while playing XCOM 2. Love it.

[@megankaplinsky8543]

This song. On repeat.

[@Ryuhza]

Spooky ass video Spookiest The Shins song yet.

[@francescolupi4691]

This song is genius. Listen how Mercer adds a scale of 3 to 5 notes and syllables at the end of every verse to brighten up the musicality. "weird angles coming over THE WIRE" or "down my nose to the fish IN THE BARRELS". I also love how he plays with the tone at the end of the part that goes "wash the blood and the guts TO the OCEan".

[@demouseonly]

Perfect! Can't wait for the new album! Come to KY!!

[@Morphinos]

gosh I missed the distinct sound and happy melodies of the Shins. Nice one guys!

[@kurtmyers4208]

Seattle baby!

[@themagicalponyofdoom]

MY FAV BAND IS BACK HALLELUJAH

[@abigail5478]

I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS. SO SO HAPPY

[@sg9959]

Beautiful.

[@alejandroleal5066]

New tour? I hope they come to Europe

[@ciaranmoriarty958]

This and rifle spiral are definitely my favourite

[@sanchitvarma1282]

Finally! This was long awaited. To me this sounds a lot like the sound of Wincing The Night Away, which is my favorite Shins album by far. So I am really stoked!

[@The94Dan]

Very cool mix of influences

[@robinsdiydiapercakes2840]

I love this song

[@LordSprakIV]

After Port of Morrow I was worried. Guess I didn't need to be, this is fantastic

[@Hippogryph21]

Yes!

[@elecsomify]

Great come back & video!

[@MrChristoffer46]

I've been waiting so long for this day..

[@aislingsmith2]

Most definitely worth the wait

[@JavierSanchez-rg1if]

This made my day. I hope to see them at ACL next year!

[@liligraa]

New shins music oh my god!

[@lexaeternal2496]

This is perfect.

[@yael6516]

I love this. Can't wait for the album.

[@rumagoo82]

So awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@heyvsoucejobahere6763]

Wow a Shins song that doesn't feel like a chill out song

[@TheTacticalMess]

Paulo Henrique It still seems pretty chill. I mean not as chill as their usual stuff... but like I could chill while maybe slightly nodding my head to this lol.

[@justanotherfrog]

The radio was playing Phantom Limb the other day and I thought to myself how much I missed The Shins...just at that moment I got the KZbin notification about this. Spooky!

[@emkaol92]

yaaaassssssss!!!! i have been waiting for this for too long I wasnt sure it would ever happen. thankyouthankyouthankyou 😍😍😍

[@km3663m]

The Shins have never disappointed. This song is proof, they will always have that distinct sound that no one can replicate. I've been a fan since the days of 'Oh, Inverted World'. :-)

[@tedb3966]

About damn time

[@kararenner3331]

Gold.

[@Madhu-we5zq]

So after watching the comment section.. i realised there are many people who listens to good music!!!..wow that's nice

[@joselito3000]

NM represent!

[@jellapiep]

gosh I love it!!!

[@maryenlund7382]

Amazing! This made my crap day so much better!

[@midnightmarauder6534]

i know we just got an album but Im want another cuz they make gold

[@andrew12361]

Awesome!

[@nicholaslindenmeyer6472]

there is something about the drums (especially the intro) that reminds me of the black keys.

[@marcusavelarrr]

Que clipe sensacional. Eu estava esperando uma música nova do Shins desde a fabulosa So Now What. Assumo que esse seja o presságio de um disco novo vindo por aí. Em meio a tantas bandinhas genéricas que tem surgido nos últimos tempos, é seguro afirmar que o James Mercer continua sendo o melhor compositor do indie rock em atividade atualmente. O talento do cara é inquestionável e indiscutível. Espero que o Shins lance um disco tão bom quanto foi o Port Of Morrow.

[@SuperDJD96]

Thank you Shins, you made my day.

[@josephstalin7803]

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FINALLY I'm in love

[@jediahpriya]

True so true

[@ethansmall01]

This album is underrated.

[@emmalinsofie5300]

I'm obsessed with the lead singer I've had a crush on him since the bringing. I'm such a freak haha

[@Medroizz]

ahaha

[@Britpopsoul]

Sounds like where Broken Bells left off

[@aca2525]

Love this :)

[@stanthonyspray]

spoopy

[@DelayInBlockProductions]

OMGGGGG

[@UDontTakeMeSeriously]

I hope they have more planned in the future. It's been forever....

[@jats44]

Where have you been? New album coming in Januaryish.

[@hugom.4516]

this so great I can't wait for the album :)

[@arethur]

coolest video

[@kurtispopp]

Sounds like the Shins of old as opposed to that slick mess that was the last album. I'm excited!

[@JEEVES635]

Port of Morrow was one of their best albums, yo. The Shins haven't disappointed me with any album yet. :p

[@21innocentbystander]

JEEVES no

[@JEEVES635]

21innocentbystander oh ok

[@pixelbros1993]

[@midkay]

What the absolute hell is this video? I love it XD

[@LIZZYRULES]

[@danielhasen439]

[@dimitriboaz998]

The Ramones + The Beetles = The Shins

[@mavalencia7940]

El vídeo está cool. 👀

[@Fredthe99th]

Is this a dream!?

[@wonderbread482]

New album march 7th? It's a Tuesday so it makes sense

[@mtrps_]

thank god for Kevin spacey's band !!

[@netdog713]

wow

[@joshuawisner4177]

Now I know how my grandparents felt when port of morrow first released.

[@simonr.2793]

The views on this video annoy me. The Shins are so underappreciated.

[@MindMessed]

I wonder if the budget for this video was spent on the drugs needed to inspire it.

[@amitomer2179]

Mindmessed ,is that why I love this video?

[@nicf1555]

The lyrics on the rest of the album suggest there were drugs to go around for the whole project

[@cranberryjuice3998]

liked

[@sinceunati]

Just because it's creative doesn't mean it's inspired by drugs. Now if the video was of James Mercer sitting in a car, in some shady ass neighborhood, waiting for a score or just getting ripped of, then I would say it was inspired by drugs.

[@fraundakelmbrilpondaprost90]

I'm a simple man. Someone suggests you need drugs to be creative, I thumbs down.

[@allthelightswecannotsee]

Welcome to the Beetlejuice A Movie By Shin Burton ..

[@lordsherbert9789]

According to Urban Dictionary, Gleeking is long distance spitting.

[@julieg2603]

If Hep Alien was a real band, thy could so get on The Shins level doe

[@The-Canoe-River-Cleaner]

like early psychedelic Shins but with better musicians and production. Win win!!

Get ready to be destroyed by every Jezebel perusing, quasi-feminist turd sandwich within a 100 mile posting radius....it's been nice knowing you friend.

[@rudyconnor6488]

Sooo good. If you like this song check out "The Runaway" by Regret the Hour!

[@rarebugsupply]

a new shins song?

[@magnohor]

Jon Sortland and James Spencer are the ones who did the Shelf Life short film?? Please confirm

[@LParker98]

¿Alguien mas que hable español y que guste de esta increíble banda? No puedo ser solo yo :'v

[@Eli_YC]

yooo

[@drinkabigcoffeesigzil1811]

This song is some of their best work. It sort of leans away from port of morrow and is more of a fusion between the songs in chutes too narrow and wincing the night away.
