The Shins are back with their first new song in many years. The song is called “Simple Song” and it’s set to appear on their new album, Port Of Morrow ( March 20 via Aural Apothecary/Columbia Records).

“Simple Song” is simply pop-rock perfected to a tee. It jumps out of your speakers and hits all the right chords. It sounds gorgously big, with plenty hooks and clean melodies. The Shins may just be a James Mercer solo project at this point, but if he releases stuff this kid, then it’s all the same to me.

Stream “Simple Song” below.


Digital pre-orders of Port Of Morrow will receive “Simple Song” tomorrow. iTunes pre-orders will also include b-side “Pariah King”. The Shins are selling a whole bunch of cool packages of the album that you can purchase here.
