Going is Song Shearwater has transformed itself to the point of reinvention on Palo Santo, the band's fourth album. The first Shearwater release to be made up entirely of songs by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Meiburg, Palo Santo resembles previous Shearwater albums only incidentally. It's a thrilling, paradoxical record--icily warm, welcoming and threatening, sloppy and immaculate. The austere folk that was a trademark of previous Shearwater records makes periodic appearances in Palo Santo, but thorny forests of static and distortion have sprouted up to occasionally obscure it. The band also channels previously unheard influences; the driving staccato piano of "Seventy Four, Seventy Five" recalls early John Cale, and some of the record's more disorienting soundscapes could inhabit the same strange continent as Nico's Cale-produced classic Desertshore. "La Dame Et La Licorne" suggests Talk Talk covering "Madman Across the Water"; "Failed Queen" a grotty three-way orgy--circa 1970--between the Velvet Underground, the Incredible String Band, and Meddle-era Pink Floyd."White Waves" uncorks a swaggering and impressively heavy electric guitar riff, while "Sing, Little Birdie" might be some forgotten 78 of an old standard, warbling through a morphine haze. Meiburg and Will Sheff, who began their collaboration as members of the critically lauded Okkervil River, founded Shearwater in 2001 as an outlet for quieter songs on which the two were working. But it wasn't long before Shearwater turned into something else. Shearwater's debut, The Dissolving Room, introduced Meiburg's now ex-wife Kim Burke on upright bass; shortly after, drummer and vibraphonist Thor Harris joined, cementing Shearwater as a band capable of tendering moments of both credible rock and thunderous noise. The addition of multi-instrumentalist Howard Draper plus tours and support dates with the Mountain Goats, Akron/Family and Blonde Redhead hardened Shearwater from a casual ensemble into a tightly focused rock band. Subsequent albums Everybody Makes Mistakes and Winged Life and the EP Thieves have found Meiburg's elegant melodies and striking voice increasingly at the center. Given that this is the first Shearwater record in which Meiburg's is the only voice handling lead duties, it's surprising how varied the vocals on Palo Santo are. Far from a standard-issue indie-rock mumbler, Meiburg is as ambitious a vocalist as Antony (of Antony and the Johnsons) and as captivating as Devendra Banhart or Neil Hannon (of Divine Comedy). His voice, both delicately expressive and emotionally opaque, leaps with grace, even with the most startling gaps in these often deliberately schizophrenic songs, surging forward into your ear only to retreat into an echo- soaked canyon. The lyrics start out clear and direct, but soon become abstract and indecipherable; there's a comparable tension in the instrumentation of Palo Santo, where antique organs cozy up against a quartet of harmonized shortwave radios and arpeggiated banjos battle the world's most hideous-sounding fuzz bass.Similarly, arrangements crystallize into perfect harmony only to be cracked open again by dissonance. There seems to be some kind of narrative thread, but it's broken, frayed, frozen, while hanging over everything there's a sense of mystery that no one could be bothered to clear up or even acknowledge. It's like a transmission you're only picking up part of, but you're listening closely, because it's telling you when and exactly where the missile is going to hit. “They remain, in parts, as somber still as American Music Club, but now add more than a dash of Spirit of Eden-Talk Talk and a whole heap of 70s FM pop. Soft rock chamber music if you will... Like Devendra Banhart or Iron & Wine, Shearwater are capable of emotional resonance through the most brittle of arrangements. Stunning.” **** Uncut “Shearwater has devised a genre unto itself. Through the use of a variety of keyboards, violin, vibraphone, dulcimer, and banjo, along with the rock standard guitar, bass, and drums, they create soundscapes of remorse and the mundane, perfect for windswept winter mornings and shimmering summer days.” Austin Chronicle >> Shearwater have toured extensively, both as a headliner and >> Previous features in The Fader, Devil in the Woods,Comes With a supporting the Mountain Goats, Okkervil River,Blonde Redhead, Smile, Copper Press and reviews in New York Times, Mojo, Uncut, Akron/Family, Robyn Hitchcock and others.

  • Album Review of the Velvet Underground & Nico
    Album Review of The Velvet Underground & Nico – Artifacts Journal - University of Mi... Page 1 of 4 University of Missouri A Journal of Undergraduate Writing Album Review of The Velvet Underground & Nico Sam Jennings Sam Jennings started attending the University of Missouri in 2012 and is currently pursuing a bachelor of music performance in guitar. He writes in his spare time and fronts a local Columbia rock band, “The Rollups”. He is thankful to Dr. Michael J. Budds for encouraging him and his submission to this journal. He wrote this paper as one part of a multi-paper project in Historical Studies in Jazz and Popular Music, taught by Dr. Michael J. Budds. They were expected to choose a musician (before 1970) and review a full-length LP by that artist; he felt particularly inclined to make the case for a set of truly bizarre, radical artists who have been historically misunderstood and misaligned. When The Velvet Underground & Nico was released in March of 1967, it was to a public that hardly cared and a critical establishment that could not make heads or tails of it. Its sales were dismal, due in part to legal troubles, and MGM’s bungled attempts at promoting the record. The Velvet Underground’s seedy, druggy music defiantly reflected an urban attitude even closer to the beatniks than Bob Dylan and even more devoted to rock n’ roll primitivism than The Rolling Stones or The Who. Nevertheless, the recording had no place in a landscape soon to be dominated by San Francisco psychedelics and high- concept British pop.

  • October 21, 2015 CROSS RECORD to RELEASE WABI-SABI
    October 13, 2015 For Immediate Release CROSS RECORD TO RELEASE WABI-SABI JANUARY 29TH ON BA DA BING RECORDS LISTEN TO DEBUT SINGLE, “STEADY WAVES” https://soundcloud.com/badabingrecords/cross-record-steady-waves-1 (above image by Madeline Harvey) Two years ago, Emily Cross decamped from Chicago to the remote, idyllic town of Dripping Springs, TX with her husband, DAn Duszynski, who together form Cross Record. They rented a ranch that covers 18 acres, has a chicken coop and is located next to a bird sanctuary. Between 60-hour workweeks at restaurants, supermarkets, and nannying, she composed an album that absorbs any workaday commonalities and shaped them into her smoky, atmospheric and gripping second album, Wabi-Sabi. Recorded throughout 2014 and into 2015 at the couple’s own Moon Phase Ranch, Wabi-Sabi is a crystallization of Cross’ past music and her passion for art (she studied at the Burren College of Art in Ireland). For example, the scorpions on the cover of Wabi-Sabi (see album cover image below) were found in her bathtub (something she definitely had not experienced before living in Texas) and photographed by her, and she regularly draws and paints in a nook above the studio. The way we interact and adapt to different and strange environments is a theme that permeates throughout Wabi-Sabi. Most recording was done in the early and late hours of the day, with loons cawing in the distance thanks to that bird sanctuary. The ambiance of twilight evenings and orange dawns formed the heart and soul of Wabi-Sabi.

  • Thor Harris on Self-Sufficiency
    January 11, 2017 - Thor Harris is a musician, painter, writer, and carpenter (he built his own house). He was the percussionist in Swans from 2010 to 2016, and has performed with Shearwater, Bill Callahan, Ben Frost, and many others. He currently plays in Thor and Friends, who released their self-titled debut album in October 2016. Harris, an outspoken proponent of mental health advocacy, has published chapbooks of his drawings and writing. His "How To Live Like a King for Very Little” is a DIY classic. As told to Brandon Stosuy, 2636 words. Tags: Music, Inspiration. Thor Harris on self- sufficiency How does exercise fit into your life and help with your creativity? I got really addicted to exercise when I was 15. I didn’t realize what a profound effect it had on brain chemistry. I didn’t know anything about brain chemistry then. I lived with depression, and probably had it my entire life, but something shifted when I started doing push-ups, running, and doing sit-ups. I didn’t even have weights. I started this job as a roofer in Texas. So it was hot and hard manual labor all day long. Something shifted when I started doing exercise. Touring, of course, dictates that you’re sedentary a lot, just because of the travel. So I have to come up with weird ways to get exercise. Walking certainly is a really good one. It’s just a huge part of my survival as a human now. There are all these companies where neurologists work to develop these puzzles that supposedly slow down the atrophy of our brains as we get older.
