Shearwater share “Slugs In The Marigolds”, the third single from “The New World”, and it’s a side of the band we’ve not heard before: slinky and carefree. Beginning mid-stride, as if caught playing in an empty warehouse, it lets Doug Wieselman’s casually beautiful saxophone summon the ghost of Roxy Music, the loose, sunny feeling playing against a darker lyric.

Shearwater announce their new album “The New World,” due July 31st via their own Polyborus label in partnership with Secretly Distribution. Jonathan Meiburg’s long-running outfit shares singles “More and More” and “Daydream Unbeliever,” with the latter, accompanied by a video Meiburg filmed and edited during research in Antarctica, billows out with classic Shearwater grandeur — soaring strings, a gong smashed by Xiu Xiu’s Jamie Stewart.

Shearwater release their new album ‘Fellow Travelers’ next month on Sub Pop, an album of covers which Jonathan Meiburg said is their best album so far. Get a taste…

Shearwater’s latest release ‘Animal Joy’ has been marked as a re-birth of an artist by their new label Sub Pop Records.

Shearwater release live album: Island Arc trilogy. Frontman, Jonathan Meiburg, releases new EP and the band sign to Sub Pop, they start work on a new album shortly. Listen now and watch a great documentary.

Shearwater frontman Jonathan Meiburg insists that you don’t need a PhD to love his band’s new full-length, The Golden Archipelago. Sure, it was inspired by a yearlong trek around remote islands like the Falklands, Tierra del Fuego, the Galapagos and New Zealand’s Chatham Islands.
