Shins To Release Next Album on Mercer's Label


Yeah, I got a little excited the other morning when I saw this story on Billboard, but there's no news about a new record, just the fact that the band are seeking a better deal and will likely release the next record on frontman James Mercer's label, Aural Apothecary. This isn't good news for their current label, Sub Pop, the band's most recent effort, Wincing The Night Away, sold over half a million copies, so far. Seeing how this year hasn't been very exciting, musicwise, this news deserves to be celebrated with some Shins music, a Shin Bones Mix!
