Album Notes & Community Reviews

'The Worm's Heart' is a unique companion album by the American indie pop band The Shins. The record serves as an inverted, completely reworked version of their 2017 album 'Heartworms', reimagining fast songs as slow acoustic ballads and vice versa. It provides a fascinating, psychedelic alternate perspective on James Mercer's deeply poetic and melodic songwriting.
