The Shins have released a pretty wild music video for “Simple Song” that put’s James Mercer in a fatherly role. It’s an interesting concept, an interesting choice for “Simple Song”. It was directed by Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan.
Hit the jump to watch.

Woah. The shins is one of those bands that is able to actually capture emotions from past experiences and bring them right back as if we were emotionally time traveling. The blend of this song and video is magical, immaculate, and unforgettable. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be living during a time that a band like The Shins exists… I’m simply blown away by everything they do. I am so anxious for the works on the new album… just three more weeks away!
