(Radio.com) The Shins have announced their fifth album, Heartworms, which will be released on March 10th and they also released a lyric video for the album's first single, "Name For You," which James Mercer's three daughters helped inspire.
"They got a name for you girls/ What's in a name?/ They got a name for everything/ All of the clothes that you wear/ And all of your bits and pieces yeah," he sings on the chorus. The song champions female empowerment.
Mercer wrote all the songs on Heartworms, and also produced 10 of the album's 11 tracks. He last self-produced the band's 2001 album, Oh, Inverted World, so their latest project promises a return to form in more ways than one. Check out the tracklist and lyric video here.
