Seminal indie rock outfit The Shins made their way to Saturday Night Live to give a preview of what we can expect to hear on their upcoming new album, Port of Morrow, which is their first in five years. They played their great new single, the irresistibly upbeat "Simple Song" that you can watch above, and a more somber cut in "It's Only Life," which is below. After watching these performances it's become clear that March 20, aka Port of Morrow's release date, can't get here quickly enough.
