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.

5 months ago

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: The Snow Leopard EP (2008)
about 1 year ago

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.

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.

"And a voice, low in my ear,says the things that we did here will never die"
about 1 year ago

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.
