Shearwater – Breaking The Yearlings

Biography
To date, Shearwater has released seven full-length albums—‘The Dissolving Room’, ‘Everybody Makes Mistakes’, ‘Winged Life’, ‘Palo Santo’, ‘Rook,’ ‘The Golden Archipelago,’ and ‘Animal Joy,’—as well as EPs, ‘Thieves’ and ‘The Snow Leopard,’ and a split album with Okkervil River entitled ‘Sham Wedding/Hoax Funeral.’
Beginning at some point in 2005, Will Sheff lessened his role in the band. Jonathan Meiburg wrote the entirety of Palo Santo. As a biologist, Jonathan has a particular perspective. The songs of Palo Santo were partly written at the Galápagos Islands in the footsteps of Charles Darwin.

It's criminal, is what it is.

It's surprising that a band with over 2,000 listeners has such a low weekly listenership.

One Overlord came out yesterday, but you have to buy the whole album to get it. The version of the album on Amazon is corrupted, though :(

The non-presence of Animal Joy in most 2012 best-of lists says more about today's music press than it does about the album, and what it has to say about the former is not kind.

Never thought I would discover one of 2012's best albums halfway through December. Amazing!

So it looks like the mini album that JM referred to a while back is going to be covers of songs by bands they've toured with: "In the coming months, between tours and before we start the next album, we're going to make a mini-album of songs by bands we've traveled with over the years. We have several in mind already - but are curious to hear suggestions. Only rule is that SW (or JM solo) must have toured with the band at some point. What say ye?" They're soliciting suggestions of songs to cover on Facebook. Really hope they do a Wye Oak song, as well as a studio version of Clinic's "Tomorrow," which might be my favorite of their cover versions.
