Shearwater

What started out as a side project with Okkervil River's Will Sheff and Kingfisher's Jonathan Meiburg, has turned into a full blown success story. After releasing their 5th album last year, the critically acclaimed Palo Santo, the Austin, Texas band Shearwater has signed to Matador Records.

The album will be tweaked as a double album with newly recorded versions of "La Dame et la Licorne", "Red Sea, Black Sea", "Seventy-Four, Seventy-Five", "Johnny Viola", and "Hail, Mary", while disc two includes 8 previously unreleased tracks. Still, the record is sure to sound like the channeling of Jeff Buckley.

Check out the updated version of "Red Sea Black Sea" below.

Shearwater-Red Sea Black Sea mp3 (new version) from Palo Santo Expanded Edition due April 10th

Shearwater-Seventy Four-Seventy Five mp3 (older version) from original Palo Santo
