The Shins Reveal LP Release DateJanuary 23, 2007 will usher in an era of fitful sleep, as on that day, Sub Pop will unveil the newest album from the Shins. As previously reported, the record is titled Wincing the Night Away. We hope it doesn't hurt too much.
Posting on their fancy new library-themed website, the band wrote of the release date, "Trust us if we had our way it would be out next week, but 'The Man' has seen fit to do otherwise. The good folks at Sub Pop have scheduled this like a finely tuned machine, and we have all the confidence in the world that January is the magic month for a reason. We are excited."
The Shins also encourage fans attending their Austin City Limits set next week to bring "digital cameras, phones, and other media capturing gadgets" because "your footage could be used in a video broadcast of one of our songs." Ooh, a "video broadcast"-- is that one of them new-fangled inventions the kids are all atwitter about these days?
