The Shins

In March 2012, during the live performance at #VEVOSXSW, The Shins were promoting their album "Port of Morrow," which had been released just a few days prior, on March 20, 2012. This marked a significant moment in the band's career, as it was their first album in nearly five years, following "Wincing the Night Away" in 2007. Notably, "Port of Morrow" was also the first album to feature new members, including guitarist Jessica Dobson. The choice to perform "Phantom Limb," a track that blends their signature indie rock sound with lush melodies, showcased the band's evolution while retaining their core aesthetic. This performance at a prominent music festival like SXSW underlined their return to the spotlight, highlighting their enduring influence within the indie music scene.
