The Shins

In January 2017, The Shins were promoting their upcoming album, "Heartworms," which would be released in March of that year. Prior to this live performance, their last studio album was "Port of Morrow," released in 2012, marking a significant gap before their return. This 2017 concert reflects a pivotal moment in their career, as they were re-establishing themselves and experimenting with new material. The setlist includes fan favorites like "Caring Is Creepy" and "Australia," along with newer songs such as "Name for You," hinting at their evolving sound. Notably, the band, led by James Mercer, has been influential in the indie rock scene, and this performance captures their dynamic energy as they transitioned into a new era. The concert showcases their blend of nostalgia and fresh ideas, evident in their deliberation to include both classic tracks and new material in their live repertoire.
