Led by bird scientist Jonathan Meiburg, who performs double-duty in the alt-folk
band Okkervil River, Shearwater finds inspiration both in nature and in albums by
Brian Eno and Talk Talk.
A two-headed monster, Shearwater is part sorrowful folk ensemble, part noisier
Americana outfit.
The snow leopard
the way is to climb
the way is to lie still
and let the moon do its work on your body
and then to rise
through forests and oceans of lives
and through the way of the black rocks, splitting, wide,
and flow
ten thousand miles."
well, i've had enough,
wasting my body, my life
i'll come away, come away from the shallows
but can this sullen child,
as bound as the ox that i ride,
climb to the heart of the white wind, singing, high,
and blow
through my frozen eyes?
