Shearwater@shearwaterband.bsky.social · yesterdayWe’re doing an /r/indieheads AMA this Friday at 11AM Eastern. Ask us about dogs, Antarctica, music supervision, or our new record, The New World. Nothing is too large or small. You can already ask questions now, but we’ll be answering them live on Friday. www.reddit.com/r/indieheads...
Now I have to try to remember all those things that I've wondered about in passing, over the years.

Nathan needs to put down the phone@feralharp.bsky.social · 3d agoI had the great pleasure of participating in the listening party for the new album from @shearwaterband.bsky.social It's so strongly atmospheric, one almost has to play it again immediately afterwards (I did). Other music would feel intrusive. shearwater.bandcamp.com/album/the-ne...
In two hours! Come hang out with us. It’ll be JM, EL, and possibly also DD in the chat.
Shearwater@shearwaterband.bsky.social · 4d agoIf you're free on Sunday 12pm EDT / 5pm BST, why not join us for a (free) online Bandcamp listening party for The New World? We'll be there to listen along with you and chat about the album and the journey we took to make it. shearwater.bandcamp.com/merch/the-ne...
Anybody want to join a free listening party for my favorite band’s new album? The band will be in the chat answering questions. It’s in a little over an hour.

WBEZ@wbez.org · 4d agoThe Lollapalooza set of Chicago’s alt rock hometown heroes brought in a respectable crowd — and not just people born in the 1900s.
Great choice of song from The New World to play! I thought that The Only Sound I’m Afraid Of could have been a single too.
Mike Bennett@mrhonorama.bsky.social · 4d agoI'm back on @chirpradio.org this Saturday morning, 9-Noon (CDT), and I'll have the latest from Shannon Lay, Kelz, Akiko Haruna, Ariana Grande, Dev Lemons, Altamira, Robyn & Zara Larsson, THAO, and Shearwater. Tune in at 107.1 FM or chirpradio.org.
🎶 I’ll be there 🎶

Visit the Guyanan savannah vicariously through Sean’s photos. Warning/invitation: lots and lots of spiders! Beautiful spiders! Also Ivan the Otter.
Sean McCann@ibycter.bsky.social · 7d agoSo, @cataranea.bsky.social and I went to Guyana over the past week (ish) to attend #BugShot, in the Rupununi Savannah, at Karanambu Lodge. You wanna see some pictures of what we saw?
Dear @criterion.bsky.social: Your only choice is to revolutionize the world. The path you must take has been prepared for you.

Not every day you see an indie rock (?) album likened to the oeuvre of Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro but then again that’s the kind of album it is.
Glide Magazine@glidemag.bsky.social · 6d ago'The New World,' simply put, is Shearwater’s masterpiece, a consummate expression of the Texas band’s ethos. REVIEW: glidemagazine.com/328333/with-...

I stopped buying new vinyl a few years ago because new vinyl feels like a collectible. A $39 Gracie Abrams vinyl LP or whatever is like buying a Gracie Abrams Funko Pop. Also CDs are far cheaper, you can hoard more of them because they're smaller (fact!) and I'm told they contain the same music

This is like when I had a breakup in early 2020 and vowed to get out more and meet new people

I'm an independent non-binary artist doing my best to keep cultivating my own weird enchanted garden in the midst of this burning world. I have a new album called "Seedhead" out one month from today: aviengel.bandcamp.com/album/seedhead Pre-orders are underway, & immensely appreciated 🖤

Ask not “when can *I* see Shearwater and Loma”, ask “when can Shearwater and Loma see *me*”. If you can answer that question with “this Halloween or sometime in November”, you really ought to.
Shearwater@shearwaterband.bsky.social · 3w agoWe're making it official today: Shearwater & Loma will be touring in November for the first time since 2018—and the first time ever as co-headliners, with Any Kind supporting. Dates, locations, and ticket links for the *When Can I See You?* tour at shearwatermusic.com/tour-dates/ More soon...SW
