Shearwater

Animal Joy (Sub Pop Records)
release date: 2/14/2012

Austin indies Shearwater channel some Richard Thompson (a very good thing) on “You As You Were,” although that comparison applies to vocals only, as they prefer piano to guitar sounds. It’s pretty dreamy stuff, so it makes sense that their latest full-length was released on Valentine’s Day.
