Shearwater Reveals Two New Tracks from Upcoming Album ‘The New World’
Shearwater, the acclaimed Austin indie rock band, is back with their latest album, The New World, making a triumphant return after their 2022 release, The Great Awakening. The band is self-releasing this record with the assistance of Secretly Distribution, a departure from their previous albums released through Sub Pop and Matador. In a unique twist, the album was crowdfunded and self-produced, showcasing the band’s commitment to their artistic vision.
The album’s lead singles, “Daydream Unbeliever” and “More And More,” offer listeners a taste of what to expect from The New World. Frontman Jonathan Meiburg describes the inspiration behind the songs, saying, “If you’re like us, you wake up feeling like the world’s on fire, and hoping you could reckon with it if you knew where to begin. ‘Daydream Unbeliever’ and ‘More And More’ come from this uneasy place. If they help you feel a little less insane, welcome home.”
Featuring guest appearances from a diverse array of musicians, including Xiu Xiu’s Jamie Stewart, multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily, and saxophonist Doug Wieselman, among others, The New World promises to deliver a rich tapestry of sound. Each track on the album offers a unique perspective, from the haunting melodies of “Even Song” to the introspective reflections of “You And Your Dog.”
The New World is set for release on 7/31 via Polyborus / Secretly, inviting fans to pre-order the album and immerse themselves in Shearwater’s latest musical journey.
