Records of 2010 - 23. Shearwater - The Golden Archipelago
Going back to nature. Going back to the heart. Going back to how to realized you fell in love with guitars and vocals in the first place. Going on holiday. Going to tell you about this:
Shearwater are an offshoot of Okkervil River, a stunning folk band from Austin, Texas. Where Okkervil River pour their heart out, I'd argue that Sheawater have a full-bodied sound in their instrumentation. This is rich and luscious stuff my friend. Sure, they strip it down at times, like in the opener "Meridian," but the voice of Jonathan Meiburg is so ruby-red that it shines through like a nice Cabernet Sauvignon. What am I writing?
