We released a pair of videos for “Hidden Lakes” yesterday; you can find them here. But we also wanted to post an exclusive version of the video shot at JM’s house, in which he talks about the TGA and some of the travels that inspired it. If you look closely you can catch some footage of places featured in the album artwork. Shot by JP Garrigues.
Available now at your friendly local record shop, on your favorite internet music service, and/or at the Sub Pop Mega Mart.
Here’s a science-oriented intro to my book, A Most Remarkable Creature — but don’t be fooled, there’s a lot more than science in there. (JM)

An unsung group of South American falcons yields clues to the prehistory of a continent, and hints at secrets of the avian brain.The heat and electricity are back on. It’s time to put on our sun bonnets and get back to the album. #texasfreeze
Really glad you're safe. Is it too late to get the sound of breaking/melting ice on the new record?😉
So glad you folks are safe and warm!
Glad you’re all safe!
Glad you're safe!
That is wonderful to know, on both counts.
I was just wondering how you were...
I just read Heather Cox Richardson's post about Tim Boyd. "Only the strong will survive and the weak will parish [sic]" Glad to see that you did not "parish"
how are there two of you in this picture??
Just finished recording the audiobook for #amostremarkablecreature, in the same booth where I'm doing the vocals for the new SW album. Gave me a new respect for readers of audio books, voiceover actors, etc...it turns out reading aloud is very much like singing, but for hours on end. After a while, it was really hard to resist reading the book's many quotes in a Werner Herzog voice—especially this one:
Oh wow, yes, definitely ripe for some Herzog! On another note, very cool you're doing the audio for your own book. :}
I recently discovered the joy of reading any short responses in online forums in Herzog's voice. An endless sea of Werners replying to each other.
I had a very different moment of appreciating authors who put in the work the other day. I was not surprised to discover that Neil Young’s _Waging Heavy Peace_ was not read by the author, but who would sit through it if it were read by anybody else??
How about David Attenborough's voice? ;)
Not Herzog, but Orson Welles?
Jonathan Meiburg narrating a book about birds in the style of Werner Herzog... are you trying to seduce me? Because this is how you seduce me.
A new President in January. Meiburg and Ishiguro books in March. New Murakami book in April. 2021 is looking more hopeful by the day! 🙏🏼📚🎶
I am *so* excited that you're doing the audiobook for this. This is going to make for some seriously cozy crochet nights.
