Shear-goodness

Shearwater have gone out of their way to assert themselves as more than just an Okkervil River side project, but a living, breathing full band. By the way, they sound nothing like O.R. The Austin band release their third album, "The Golden Archipelago," February 15th on Matador.

If you like Joy Division, Joni Mitchell, Talk Talk and ... that's right Radiohead - then you may like Shearwater. Here are the first two singles. I have to admit, Jonathan Meiburg's breathtaking falsetto on "Castaways" really gets my heart pounding.

"Castaways"
"Black Eyes"
