This week on WTTS Indy Underground, more thorough previews of the spring album’s we’re waiting for. M. Ward gets back to his solo roots April 10th. We’ll look more at A Wasteland Companion in the meantime. It’s also time to dive back into Port of Morrow, the upcoming album from The Shins. 5 years and a side project later, James Mercer has managed to build a lot of suspense for the March 20th release, helped by the slow leak of songs one at a time. You can watch the just released first video below.

Add in Cincinnati-based Heartless Bastards and their latest, and you have this week’s WTTS Indy Underground. Listen tonight at 8pm for the best from the independent music scene.
