Attention nor’westers: If you’re in Seattle (or on the internet anywhere), you can hear us play a scaled-down set live on on KEXP 90.3 at 1:30 PM tomorrow. And then come on down to the show at Nectar Lounge in the evening for the whole shebang.
Available for preorder now at your friendly local record shop, on your favorite internet music service, and/or at our Bandcamp page.
Thanks to NPR Music’s All Songs Considered and Robin Hilton & Lars Gotrich for featuring “Daydream Unbeliever” on this week’s episode!

FYI, that’s Bobo (one of Dan’s dogs) at the end of the song. We have a rule that if any of the animals makes a sound during a take, it stays in. And Bo wanted to be heard.
JM will be playing an acoustic set and signing copies of The New World on August 1 at Rough Trade West, right after our album is released! Get tickets now: link.dice.fm/l0ab0fdd2ed4
The New World has been deemed Album of the Month in the August 2026 issue of Uncut Magazine! Four whole pages, and a 9/10 review. Thanks to Louis Pattison for a great article and interview. Pick it up at a newsstand near you now (or soon!). A taste:
“An ambitious globe-trotting voyage into changing nature… A richly orchestrated art music assembled in a way that feels simultaneously intimate in sentiment and gigantic in scope… Some of Shearwater’s finest songs to date… Extraordinary and wonderful.” Uncut - 9/10 Album of the Month
