Reviews
Jet Plane and Oxbow (2016)
Assured eighth album from undervalued Texan-based experimental band, Shearwatar
Animal Joy (2012)
Catchy, but unsatisfactory fourth album from acclaimed Texan group, Shearwater
The Golden Archipelago (2010)
Fertile latest album from Shearwater, who increasingly draw comparisons with Talk Talk and Mark Hollis in their passion and ability
The Snow Leopard EP (2008)
Mesmerising compilation of highights from this year's 'Rook' album, B-sides and live tracks on new EP from highly acclaimed baroque pop outfit, Shearwater
Rook (2008)
Excellent latest album from one-time Okkervil River offshoot Shearwater, which taking a wildly disparate range of influences, have shaped them into something which manages to be both gentle and epic at the same time
Winged Life (2005)
Melancholic but eclectic debut album from new side project of Okkervil River's Will Sheff and Jonathan Meiburg
