Led by Jonathan Meiburg, and featuring drummer Thor Harris, and bassist Kimberly Burke, Shearwater has been a favorite at Sub Pop HQ for many years. Why? Fellow Shearwater fan Gerard Cosloy puts it nicely: “It’s been suggested—by fans, detractors, even by the band’s founder—that Shearwater and whatever we call underground/indie/whatever-rock in this part of the century are not an obvious fit. And that’s true. So much of what we hear these days (the lousy stuff, anyway) is willfully insular; Jonathan Meiburg’s songs, by contrast, have constantly tackled bigger questions and been propelled by massive musical ambitions. We’re in an era in which minimalism and lower-than-low-tech have come in vogue. By contrast, Shearwater’s recordings—the epic “Island Arc” trilogy of Palo Santo, Rook and The Golden Archipelago in particular—have been expansive in a fashion like none of their contemporaries. On Animal Joy, Meiburg has opted to ditch an approach that paid huge artistic dividends over his last three Matador albums for a record that seems shockingly direct, immediate and intensely personal. He’s no stranger to lush, crafted recordings, but this one sounds like no prior Shearwater incarnation. Someone’s bound to label this Shearwater’s transitional album, but to these ears, it sounds like a thrilling artistic rebirth. Just give ’em the fucking Grammy already!” Artist Shearwater Genre Rock And Pop Label Sub Pop Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Animal Life Breaking the Yearlings Dread Sovereign You as You Were Insolence Immaculate Open Your Houses (Basilisk) Run the Banner Down Pushing the River Believing Makes It Easy Star of the Age Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Shearwater View Product Quick View Shearwater The Great Awakening Rock And Pop | Polyborus | 2LP Released 15th July 2022 £29.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Shearwater The Great Awakening £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polyborus SKU: PLBR001LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 15th July 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Shearwater Jet Plane And Oxbow Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 19th January 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shearwater Jet Plane And Oxbow £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1112 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 19th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Shearwater Jet Plane And Oxbow (Loser Edition) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 19th January 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shearwater Jet Plane And Oxbow (Loser Edition) £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1112X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 19th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Shearwater Fellow Travelers Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP Released 25th November 2013 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shearwater Fellow Travelers £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1050 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Shearwater Winged Life Rock And Pop | Misra | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 22nd March 2012 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shearwater Winged Life £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Misra SKU: MSR024 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd March 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Shearwater Start again More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Jesus & Mary Chain, The Glasgow Eyes Rock And Pop | Fuzz Club | 1LP, 2LP, 45rpm, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd March 2024 £23.00 -
