Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released on March 19, 2012, 'Port of Morrow' is The Shins' fourth studio album and their first since the departure of founding member James Mercer. Following the success of their critically acclaimed album 'Wincing the Night Away' (2007), Mercer took on more direct control over the band's sound and production, resulting in a more polished approach compared to earlier, lo-fi recordings.
