Hello friends, It's been a long wait, but we are finally touring again, for the first time since 2016, in November, in the EU and UK, with our musical sibling, Loma. Dates, locations and tickets for the When Can I See You? tour available now: shearwatermusic.com/tour-dates/
Our new video for our latest single “Slugs in the Marigolds” is our favorite since “Quiet Americans.” We don’t want to give too much away, but we’re pretty sure it’ll make you smile. (And keep an eye out—so to speak—for the second ending.)
After four years of work, we’re thrilled to announce that our new album, The New World, will be released worldwide on July 31st. It’s a globe-spanning adventure for your ears, made with the wildest ensemble we’ve ever assembled.
To whet your appetite, we’re releasing two tracks today: the grand “Daydream Unbeliever,” and the ethereal “More and More.” They were recorded in Dripping Springs, Brooklyn, London, and Berlin by Dan Duszynski, with additional engineering by Leo Abrahams and Boris Wilsdorf, and mixed by Danny Reisch.
Pre-order the album, stream the songs, and watch a video for “Daydream” filmed by JM in Antarctica. shearwater.lnk.to/TheNewWorld
There’s more news to come. But for now, we hope you enjoy the music—and we’d love to hear from you.
We just discovered that our “Community” section of YouTube wasn’t turned on! I think today’s a good day to initiate this community, and what better way than with an update about the new album, JM’s trip to Antarctica, the potential tour, and JM’s next book.
Check out our latest video, and let us know if you have any questions. Maybe we’ll follow this up next week with some answers in another video.
We forgot all about the YouTube Community message tab! ICYMI, on Tuesday, we shared our second single, AQABA, from our first new album in six years THE GREAT AWAKENING, out 10 June. ‘Aqaba’ is a love song, or a song about the experience of love— the thrilling, terrifying feeling that you’re being cracked like an egg.
You can watch the video now, and stream the song on all of the usual platforms. shearwater.ffm.to/aqaba
Thanks to you, our signed first-edition LPs have sold out, but we still have a few signed first-edition CDs of THE GREAT AWAKENING on our Bandcamp page (in the merch section).
You can also pre-order the standard edition in 2xLP, CD and digital formats now, at this link or at your favorite local record store: shearwater.ffm.to/thegreatawakening
We had so much fun watching this with you. We've said it before, but our fans are the greatest. This was like playing a sold-out show without actually playing a show. (You should see how effusive our post-show band group text was. Really. You made our day.) We're keeping this up until 6PM Eastern, March 15th so that anyone who wants to watch it will get the chance. After that, it will be gone.
We hope we'll be able to play for you again soon, actually live. But until then, this completely exceeded our expectations, and we hope you had as much fun as we did.
We suggest putting on headphones and turning up the volume.

Hello, Friends,
We just discovered that our “Community” section of YouTube wasn’t turned on! I think today’s a good day to initiate this community, and what better way than with an update about the new album, JM’s trip to Antarctica, the potential tour, and JM’s next book.
Check out our latest video, and let us know if you have any questions. Maybe we’ll follow this up next week with some answers in another video.
