The Shins Heartworms Newbury Clear with Black Marbled LP Vinyl Ltd 1500
Number of discs: 1 Vinyl weight (grams): 180 Limited edition of: 1500 Label: Columbia Mono/Stereo: Stereo Catalog Number: 88985414251 The Shins are pleased to announce the release of their fifth studio album, Heartworms. In contrast to 2012’s Port of Morrow, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and was nominated for a Best Alternative Album GRAMMY, Heartworms ushers in a return to the handmade. Heartworms is, as always, entirely written by James Mercer, with exception of “So Now What” (produced by band member Richard Swift). Heartworms is the first Shins album to be self-produced by Mercer since Oh, Inverted World in 2001.

Heartworms features Mercer's most diverse lyrical palette to date. The result is a cohesive, yet genre defying album marked by 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’s first single, “Name For You,” is a resounding call for female empowerment inspired by Mercer’s three daughters. 

The Shins are James Mercer (lead vocals, guitar), Joe Plummer (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Yuuki Matthews (bass guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Mark Watrous (guitar), and Richard Swift (keyboards, piano, organ, synthesizers, percussion, backing vocals).
PACKAGING

All LPs and 12"s will be shipped in a thick, sturdy, frustration-free type LP mailer with extended edges to protect your album from bends and corner dents during shipping. We pay a premium for these mailers so you don't have to gamble on receiving an item damaged by the post office.
Stock is always in-hand, ready to ship, and stored in a pet, child and smoke-free area.

SHIPPING

LPs are shipped media mail (faster and safer than many people realize) or First Class International for non-US orders. We do combine shipping. Please note we can only combine shipping on items of similar format (ie LP + LP, CD + CD, NOT LP + CD). To receive a combined shipping rate, please place all the items you would like to order in your cart and click the "request total" button toward the top right of the shopping cart item detail. We will then send you an invoice with your combined shipping rate. All packages are shipped within 24 hours of purchase. If the purchase occurs on a Saturday or Sunday EST, the package will be shipped the following Monday, excepting US holidays.

RETURNS

If the LP you are purchasing is new and sealed, it cannot be returned once opened unless the item is incorrect, damaged or defective. Some new records may have slight warps of varying degrees from the manufacturing process. This is not an issue as long as the sound quality is not affected and your needle can track the record. Some new records may come with debris in the grooves as a result of the manufacturing process, which may cause the record to skip. If this occurs, please attempt to clean the record first (a micro-fiber cloth and record cleaning fluid is the most basic method) before requesting a return. Please note that picture discs, while they can be played, will often have subpar sound quality. These should be considered desirable for their collectibility rather than sonics.
