THE SHINS 
NEW TRACK “Mildenhall” OUT TODAY
LYRIC VIDEO AVAILABLE ON VEVO

NEW ALBUM HEARTWORMS OUT MARCH 10 ON AURAL APOTHECARY/COLUMBIA RECORDS

TOUR BEGINS MARCH 2

The Shins have proudly unveiled new single “Mildenhall,” the third track from forthcoming album Heartworms. The track can now be streamed or purchased HERE.

To accompany the new track, The Shins have also unveiled a lyric video for “Mildenhall”. Shot in black and white, the video features a wandering James Mercer in England as he reflects on the place he once called home: Royal Air Force Mildenhall in Suffolk where his father was stationed. Deeply autobiographical in nature, “Mildenhall” explores the idea of home and the enduring influence of life abroad at the precipice of adulthood, chronicling his process of self-discovery both as a person and as a musician.

Heartworms is out March 10th on Aural Apothecary/Columbia Records. Ranking on multiple Most Anticipated Albums lists of 2017 including Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Stereogum, A.V. Club and Consequence of Sound, Heartworms’ first two singles have garnered glowing reviews.

Heartworms will be supported by a spring tour that begins March 2nd in Albuquerque, NM. Tickets are on sale now. Soundcheck Party tickets are also available for select dates. One $125 Soundcheck Party ticket includes: admission to an exclusive soundcheck performance, individual photo or selfie with the band, a limited edition exclusive Shins poster signed by James Mercer, a canvas Shins tote bag, and early entry into the venue. Tickets to the show are NOT included. For more information, visit theshins.com.
