Music News - The Shins Announce New Album

The indie band's follow-up to 2007's Wincing the Night Away will drop in March next year. 



It's been four years since 2007's Grammy-nominated Wincing the Night Away, but Zach Braff's favorite indie band, The Shins, will release their next album, Port of Morrow, in March next year via Columbia and frontman James Mercer's own Aural Apothecary imprint.

The announcement came via The Shins' website:
"Port of Morrow was recorded in Los Angeles over the course of 2011 with James Mercer as usual handling all songwriting duties, lead vocals, and the majority of instrumentation. The album was produced by Greg Kurstin and mixed by Rich Costey.
"An exact release date as well as touring plans will be announced shortly. As with the dates earlier this year, the upcoming tour will see Mercer leading a Shins lineup of Yuuki Matthews (bass), Jessica Dobson (guitar), Richard Swift (keyboards), and Joe Plummer (drums)."

Now the question is -- when will Zach Braff be releasing his next film?
