The live setting gives the new material a bit more pop, but it was the older material placed in-between these new offerings that really brought life to the Brooklyn crowd. The Shins new album isn’t their best by any means, but it’s solid enough and one that seems to have aged a little bit better since I first heard it earlier this year. We last saw them in March at Bowery Ballroom and their set at Prospect Park was a similar mix of songs both old and new. Tennis are also touring in support of their new album Yours Conditionally, which they released on their own label, Mutually Detrimental. Opening the show was Tennis, who have been touring as the openers during this leg of The Shins’ tour. This show was a much larger one than their performance at Bowery Ballroom back in March (as well as MHOW the next night). They’ve been on tour in support of the album since the spring, and stopped in to New York for a sold out performance at Prospect Park as a paid benefit show for the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival. James Mercer and The Shins returned this year with their new album Heartworms, which was released on March 10 via Columbia Records.
