It’s springtime in Texas, and everything seems possible.
For the first time in several years, we mostly sat out SXSW, though we’ll probably to be back next year – the only SW-related performance was a live soundtrack to some footage shot by Scottish filmmaker David Mackenzie on the remote island of Tristan da Cunha last year.
We’ve just started work on a new and very different album, about which we’ll have some major news soon.
Available for preorder now at your friendly local record shop, on your favorite internet music service, and/or at our Bandcamp page.
Please consider us gob-smacked, and deeply grateful.
Thanks for more-than-exceeding our first day expectations for our new album’s crowdfunding campaign! There are still many days to go and great perks, but we wanted to express our gratitude after a banner day. Thank you.

Dear Friends,
If you’ve been following us at all, you might have noticed us working on new music lately—and today we’re happy to say that we’ve nearly finished two LPs’ worth of new songs we’re calling The New World.
I humbly think it’s our very best work; It’s deep, vibrant, and very alive, and it features the biggest crew of friends and heroes we’ve ever assembled on a Shearwater album.
But we need some help in coaxing it through its last stages, and into the physical and digital worlds.
You can learn (a lot) more about the new album and about the incentives we’ve made to amuse/entice you, including rarities from our archives, here - www.indiegogo.com/projects/a-new-shearwater-album#/. And, of course, if you have any questions—or just want to say hi—please feel free to email us at contact@shearwatermusic.com.
But most of all: Thank you for believing in us, and sticking with us over the years.. We hope you’re keeping your heads above water in these insane times.
JM / SW
