The Shins have a new album on the way, and now they have a date with St. Petersburg. Today the band announced that they'll be bringing a tour supporting Heartworms (released today via Columbia) to Jannus Live on May 13.

DO THIS: THE SHINS AT JANNUS LIVE 05.13.17

Tickets for the gig start at $34 and technically go on sale March 17, but it looks like Daddy Kool Records is going to let you buy some now (if you believe everything you read on Facebook).  The LP is the band's first since 2012's Port of Morrow.

Listen to the entire album below, and get more information on the show via local.cltampa.com.
