Jet Plane and Oxbow
“Shearwater challenge the world to sort this whole mess out”
Rook
“Much more than one man's solo recordings or an Okkervil River side project, Jonathan Meiburg's Shearwater follow last year's partially re-recorded and re-released Palo Santo with their first LP of new tunes for Matador.”
The Golden Archipelago
“Following career-peak Rook, Jonathan Meiburg and co. return with another excellent record of restrained grandiosity and enigmatic grace.”
Thieves - EP
“The Okkervil River principals issue their latest collection of haunted, folksy, story-oriented rock.”
Palo Santo (Expanded Edition)
“Newly signed to Matador, this former Misra band reissues its underrated 2006 album as a 2xCD set, re-recording five of the original songs and adding bonus material.”
Jet Plane and Oxbow
“For Shearwater's third Sub Pop LP, Jonathan Meiburg cuts closer to big-bombast '80s rock than anything this band has achieved yet. This time, they are assisted by one of the best arranger/composers in the business in Brian Reitzell.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
