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.
