Back with the new album Heartworms, James Mercer brought The Shins to the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival, and the sold-out crowd clearly agreed with his comment that the combination "just feels right."

Caring about this band is not creepy. It's hard not to given The Shins' song catalog, and this wide-ranging setlist (including some great between-song interludes) did not disappoint. Neither did Mercer's latest live band, which seemed as excited as the fans to be there.
