Simple Song : The Shins

Finally a mailing list is good for something. The Shins released "Simple Song" off their forthcoming album today for mailing list subscribers. Lucky for you, the Sound Cloud embed is above.

"Simple Song" is Shins-peppy, but a deviation from the Brit pop vein they were tapping on Wincing the Night Away. James Mercer, on the other hand, sounds as English as usual.

Port of Morrow is out March 20, and if you're hardcore about it, you can order a reel-to-reel version of the album.... because so many of us have reel-to-reel machines.
