The Shins Stream "September" And Share Tour Dates

12:58 p.m. · February 6, 2012 · by Andrew Martin

The Shins made their return last month with the release of a pretty great new single, "Simple Song," and the promise of a new album in the next month or so. While we'll have to wait until March 20 to hear Port Of Morrow, we can further sample the band's new direction on "Simple Song" B-side "September."

Shins fans looking to hear a slightly country-ish sound from James Mercer will be pleased by this new tune and if not, well, then you'll probably be glad to know they're touring soon. You can stream the track in the Vimeo player and view the tour dates below. [RSD]
