A new Shearwater album—The New World—needs your help

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.

Album mockup for The New World, the new LP from Shearwater.

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, 

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 albumand about the incentives we’ve made to amuse/entice you, including rarities from our archives, at the link in our bio.  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.
