The currently untitled third album from The Shins has been pushed back from an October release to an early 2007 release. The delay hasn’t kept them from taking new songs to fans via the road. “Circus Walk,” “Australia,” “Phantom,” “New Step,” and “Won One Too Many Fights” have been incorporated into their live sets. In fact, The Shins will be touring more this fall.

Here are the tour dates:

Aug. 23: Brooklyn, N.Y. (McCarren Park Pool)
Sept. 15: Austin, Texas (Stubb’s BBQ)
Sept. 16: Austin, Texas (Zilker Park, Austin City Limits)
Sept. 30: Mountain View, Calif. (Shoreline Amphitheatre, Download Festival)
