The Shins have detailed The Worm's Heart, a new record featuring "flipped" versions of songs from recent LP Heartworms.
James Mercer & Co. have already shared news versions of "Name For You" and "Cherry Hearts", both of which sound very different from their iterations on Heartworms.
A press release describes the upcoming collection of "alternative, opposing" songs as "a playful exploration of a musical parallel universe" - basically all the tempos, moods, styles, and ideas have been inverted.
Tracklist:
- The Fear (Flipped)
- So Now What (Flipped)
- Heartworms (Flipped)
- Dead Alive (Flipped)
- Half A Million (Flipped)
- Rubber Ballz (Flipped)
- Mildenhall (Flipped)
- Fantasy Island (Flipped)
- Cherry Hearts (Flipped)
- Painting A Hole (Flipped)
- Name For You (Flipped)
The Worm's Heart is out 19 January 2018 via Columbia. You can pre-order now.
