What do you imagine when we say the word Dorset? Seaside city, popular for getaways, sleepy coastlines in places, that type of thing right? What you wouldn't expect is a festival, ever-growing in popularity and now in its third year as a fully fledged three day musical event.

This was the second time in less than a month that I had the acutely emotional experience of hearing Shearwater play songs from Rook and Palo Santo, interspersed with a handful of new songs (on the strength of which I am expecting the new record, if there is one in the works, to be just as stunning as their two better known LP's).

Shearwater and Hospital Ships. October 19th, 2008 at Cafe 939 in Boston, MA. Photos by Cassandra Marino, words by Melissa Galindo.

New Wax Matador recently put this digital EP from Shearwater containing some nice b-sides, live tracks, and radio recordings. The mini-album is built around "The Snow Leopard," which appeared on the band's critically drooled-over 2008 release Rook, and it also contains a handful of interesting covers. While the EP might not serve as the best introduction to the band, it's a sensible appe...

On October 14 Shearwater will be releasing The Snow Leopard. This digital EP draws its title track from June's critically lauded Rook, and adds many of the non-album B-sides and giveaway tracks, plus several striking recordings from radio sessions over the past few months. All fully and beautifully remastered. As with Rook, the cover art derives from the work of the artists Kahn Selesnick. Th...

In part two Ólafur Arnalds, Shearwater, Vetiver, We Have Band and a Bad Seed tell us which f..

I went to a couple of shows in May...here's the first write-up, one more to come some day. Shearwater + Jennifer O'Connor7 May 2008: The Iron Horse — Northampton, MAShearwater, the Texan indie orchestra headed by Jonathan Meiburg (also of Okkervil River), has nailed the big dynamic surge, the transformation in a breath from breathy Talk Talk-ish imagery to strident rock choruses. Their most fr.

Haunting lyrics, haunting song. I grabbed the new Shearwater album today(Rook), which then had me revisiting some of their older stuff...and I was reminded of exactly why it is that I still listen to 2006's 'Palo Santo' ALL the time.
