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.
