The Shins Perform at NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert Featuring Songs from Heartworms

Venue: NPR Tiny Desk Location: Washington, D.C., DC, United States Date: July 24, 2017

On July 24, 2017, The Shins performed at the NPR Tiny Desk Concert, coinciding with the release of their fifth studio album, "Heartworms." This album was significant as it marked the band's return after a five-year hiatus since their previous album, "Port of Morrow," which came out in 2012. "Heartworms" showcased a deeper exploration of songwriting and featured a more eclectic sound, blending elements of pop, rock, and psychedelia. The Tiny Desk Concert, known for its intimate setting, allowed the band to connect directly with fans and demonstrate their evolution as artists. Additionally, the performance highlighted the group's consistent presence in the indie music scene and their notable relationship with NPR, having been featured prominently in their programming over the years. The Shins' ability to maintain relevance and continue producing meaningful music was particularly evident during this live recording.
