"Port Of Morrow" is the upcoming fourth studio album by The Shins, scheduled to be released on March 20th, 2012. Recorded in Los Angeles and Portland with producer Greg Kurstin, it will be the first album by the band to be released through frontman James Mercer's new record label Aural Apothecary, as well as their first album to be distributed by Columbia Records. It is also the band's first studio album in 5 years, following the release of 2007's "Wincing The Night Away".

For those who don't know, Mercer is also involved with producer and multi-instrumentalist Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse) in the band Broken Bells that released a great indie rock album two years ago for Columbia.
