The Shins announced January 23rd as the release date for their new record
Wincing the Night Away. The band will also put out the first single "Phantom Limb" on itunes, and release both a CD and 7" version before year's end.
The band also played the Austin City Limits Festival and is asking fans who were at the show to upload any clips shot with mobile phones to
Current TV, to be considered for inclusion in a video.
The Shins have also been added to Relix's "
Wear Your Music" campaign. The band says all profits go to charities personally selected by the donating artists and the Shins have chosen to benefit the Nature Conservancy's
Adopt an Acre program.
