Shearwater was formed in Austin, Texas in 1999. Since then, we've released a whole lot of music, including three albums for Matador Records: Palo Santo (2006), Rook (2008), and The Golden Archipelago (2010), and three for Sub Pop Records: Animal Joy (2012), Fellow Travelers (2014), and Jet Plane and Oxbow (2016). as well as the the instrumental Quarantine Music series (2020-22), and the more "proper" albums The Great Awakening (2022), and The New World (2026).
We've performed hundreds of shows across the United States and Europe; we've also praised by media including The New York Times, Pitchfork, BBC6, The Guardian, and NPR. We're here because we want to continue recording and performing, even as times grow more challenging for independent artists.
