The Shins have been teasing their return over the last year with cryptic Instagram teasers, trailers and finally a new single called "Dead Alive." Now, the band have offered up some concrete info about their next full-length album.
The next LP will be titled Heartworms, and it's due out on March 10 through Aural Apothecary/Columbia.
According to a press release, "The result is a cohesive, genre-defying album marked by [James] Mercer's distinct voice and melodic composition. Unified by his singular vision, Mercer creates a sound that is both familiar — a nostalgic nod to the album's predecessors — and distinctly new."
The album artwork is pictured above, while the full tracklisting can be found down below.
Pre-orders for Heartworms are available now over here. It marks the follow-up to the Shins' 2012 album Port of Morrow.
In addition to announcing the arrival of the new record, the band have also shared some new music. The latest single is called "Name for You," and you can hit play below to give it a listen.
