We’re very excited to announce James’ new project with Brian Burton a/k/a Danger Mouse.  Details can be found on the official band site and in the Pitchfork and Rolling Stone articles linked below.  Although this is not a side project and Brian and James will continue to make music together beyond this debut release, it is not replacing the Shins.

The Shins have created an original t-shirt design for the Yellow Bird Project, a Montreal based, non-profit initiative which collaborates with musicians to raise money for charity. Proceeds from the Shins t-shirt will benefit the Nature Conservatory.

They can be purchased through the Yellow Bird Project website: http://www.yellowbirdproject.com

We're excited to announce Causes 1 is now officially available for purchase! Here are some ways to track down a copy:

> PURCHASE THE CD ONLINE
> PURCHASE ON iTUNES
> LIST OF STORES NEAR YOU WITH THE CD

Causes 1 is a limited edition charity CD to benefit Darfur, which includes exclusive and rare tracks donated by Animal Collective, The Black Keys, Bloc Party, Bright Eyes, Cornelius, The Cure, David Sylvian, Death Cab for Cutie, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, The Shins remixed by Clint Mansell, Spoon, Teargas & Plateglass, Thievery Corporation and Travis.

100%  of the proceeds from the sale of this CD will go to three non-profit organizations: Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, and Oxfam America.

We urge you to help those working in Darfur by picking up your copy of the album.

Although estimates of the number of people killed by the conflict in Darfur vary widely from 200,000 to 400,000, what is certain is that more than 2 million people have fled their homes because of the fighting, and 4 million are now in need of humanitarian assistance—making this one of the worst crises in the world today.
