The Shins performed their new song, “The Great Divide,” on The Late Late Show With James Corden Monday, October 26th.
The group turned in a clever, socially distanced video with frontman James Mercer, drummer Jon Sortland, and bassist Yuuki Matthews all performing their parts from separate rustic settings. To handle all the instrumentals, each member used some video magic to double and play alongside themselves. The clip also featured a short cameo from one of Mercer’s kids, who wandered in holding a flower toward the end of the song.

Sufjan Stevens and his long-time collaborator/stepfather, Lowell Brams, unveiled a new song, “The Unlimited,” from their upcoming New Age-inspired album, Aporia, out March 27th via their label Asthmatic Kitty.
“The Unlimited” finds Stevens and Brams crafting an enthralling soundscape that keeps a serene synth at its core while still venturing into murkier, more ominous spaces. With the introduction of thumping drums halfway through, the song builds steadily to a euphoric peak before tapering into a peaceful echo.
