Cherry Hearts is the latest track from this year’s Shins album Heartworms to get an official video.
Heartworms saw James Mercer returning to the project which first brought him success in his own right on a wave of critical acclaim. “It is a band,” Mercer said of The Shins during an interview with Billboard which can be read in full here.
“It’s just an amorphous band that kind of revolves around me. The Elephant 6 bands were a bit like that. It’s like you get to have the concept of a band but the control of being a singer-songwriter. I guess that just fit my personality well. I enjoy working with other people, but it seems like I really enjoy working alone a lot too.”
The Shins were in the UK for a headline performance at Green Man and shows at the Manchester Academy
and Nottingham Rock City.
