Next week, the Shins will release the 7″ single version of “Simple Song,” the huge, world-beating single from their forthcoming Port Of Morrow album. That single will feature a new song called “September” on the B-side. And below, we’ve got the lyric video for the song, which has a delicate bossa nova lilt and some classic-rock-informed close harmonies. James Mercer! He knows what he’s doing!
