Although they’re from Austin and have been around since 1999, I’ve only recently gotten into Shearwater. I listened to Rooks and The Golden Archipelago and loved them both. Jonathan Meiburg’s voice may take a little getting used to, but once you get there it’s magnificent.

Which brings me to the fact that NPR is streaming their new album. The first track gave me chills. Simply gorgeous. Whether you’re an old fan or have never heard them and can only think of Stillwater from Almost Famous, give this record a listen.
