Dear Friends of Shearwater,
If you’ve seen us on social media in the last year or so, you’ve probably seen us making new music—and we’re happy to reveal that after two years of work, we’ve nearly finished a sprawling double-length album called The New World.
The good news is that we think it might be our very best work. It’s deep, vibrant, and adventurous, and it features the biggest and wildest crew of friends and collaborators we’ve ever assembled on a Shearwater album.
But it’s not quite ready yet; and we need some help to usher it through its final stages and into the physical/digital worlds.
If you’re interested, there’s (a lot) more information on the crowdfunding page, along with incentives we’ve made to amuse and entice you, including some rarities from our archives. And—as always—if you have any questions, or just want to say hello, 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 many years. We hope you’re keeping your head above water in these insane times, and look forward to sharing more music with you.
JM / SW
![Dear Friends,
Here’s a small, happy bit of news: last week, with help from @stevefallone and the great folks at @sterlingsound, we finally mastered our upcoming album, The New World. We’re eager to let it out in the world next year…and a little relieved to stop listening so closely after many months of work.
A companion album is also nearly done. but that’ll have to wait until I return from Antarctica, where I’m heading now for book research. (If you like, you can follow my journey here: [https://follow-polarstern.awi.de/].)
All of us at Shearwater HQ wish you a peaceful holiday with people you care about—or on your own, if you prefer—in this ridiculous time.
JM/SW
