pitchfork

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.

exclaim

The sense of velocity and flight, paired with Meiburg's dramatic vocals, delivered with Bowie-like flair here, making Jet Plane and Oxbow a natural progression for Shearwater, and a nice departure from their typical offerings.
