Like the migratory seabirds they’re named after, the band Shearwater will spend much of the year traversing the globe. The band, led by singer/songwriter Jonathan Meiburg, has just finished the first of three European tours scheduled in 2012 and is on the second leg of an American tour as the support act for Vincent">St. Vincent.

There’s a band out in Melbourne named Husky. Here’s what they do: play some smooth, rootsy indie-folk. When you do such things, clearly you’re going to have some Sub Pop dreams. But what happens when Sub Pop dreams… become Sub Pop realities!? What happens is that you put out a record called Forever So through Sub Pop and give it a US release on July 10. You also let your buddies in the UK and Europe have that record a little earlier, namely May 28. And you let them have it in digital, CD, and vinyl formats ...

Shearwater's new record 'Animal Joy' is fast becoming one of my favourite albums of 2012 so far. It's a majestic and grand but yet at times quite introverted record that takes you on a journey, just like the band's excellent 2010 album 'The Golden Archipelago'. 'Animal Joy' is the most accessible Shearwater's music has ever been, but I mean this as a compliment. Because, although the production is much slicker than we've heard with previous Shearwater albums, the adventurous nature of their music is still in tact, and their sound still feels like it must ...

Shearwater - You As You Were I’m wrapping up two weeks on the East Coast today. lacartaajena and I left Brooklyn about a week ago with no plans and only a vague notion that we wanted to visit Maine. We ended up in Bar Harbor this weekend and spent yesterday in Acadia National Park. What a place.  We listened to Shearwater’s Animal Joy en route to the trailhead of our epic hike. Shearwater’s sweeping, melodic pop is known for invoking the natural world and exploring otherworldly themes. It always makes me think of J.R.R. Tolkien. Animal ...

That band was a quiet, introspective indie folk act. Sheff no longer is with Shearwater, and the band on stage last night was anything but quiet.

First post in quite a while. Sorry if you've been on here and have only been seeing old stuff, but Physics can take up your entire life. Went to the Vincent">St. Vincent show last night. It was a brand new experience for me for the most part. When I first heard about the Vincent">St. Vincent show a few months ago, I was interested but I did not expect to go as the venue usually charges up the ass on ticket fees through Ticketmaster. I also believed that she would play Lollapalooza anyway so I wasn't too ...

Shearwater  - Breaking The Yearlings

Die US-Indie-Rocker Shearwater kommen mit ihrer aktuellen Platte " Animal Joy " im Gepäck auf Deutschland-Tour, nachdem sie im April bereits ein paar Konzerte hierzulande gespielt haben. Ihr siebtes Album erschien zu Beginn des Jahres via Sup Pop Records. Erst vor kurzem coverten die Musiker zusammen mit der Singer/Songwriterin Sharon Van Etten den Titel "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around", welcher im Original aus dem Jahr 1981 stammt – damals war das Stück ein Duett von  Fleetwood Mac -Sängerin Stevie Nicks und Rock-Urgestein Tom Petty  ( motor.de berichtete ). Wer sich ein Konzert der Formation um Sänger Jonathan Meiburg nicht entgehen lassen will, sollte ...

CultureMap Austin : I quickly park and approach the foreboding East Austin lair, walking past Harris’ well-worn yellow truck, adorned with numerous decals and stickers, sitting on the curb (there is a small white label with the words “LIVE ANIMAL ” pasted on the driver’s side door). The intimidating and eclectic facade reminds me of something straight out of Jim Henson’s Labryinth. I try to take in the impending doom of the foreboding aesthetic, but the only thing I can focus on is the suddenly overwhelming smell of mountain laurels. Read and comment.
