Rather than derail the Okkervil River thread, this band gets its own, which is well deserved. Seriously, Rook was my 3rd favorite album of 2008. The vocals are just incredible, and the music is really awesome. "The Hunter's Star" ftw.

i can't for the life of me get into Okkervil River but loved Shearwater since the first time i heard them. though it has grown on me lately, Rook is easily my least favorite of theirs. Winged Life ftw.

A couple weeks ago, we told you that the new Shearwater album, The Golden Archipelago, is coming out February 23 in North America (and February 15 internationally), via Matador. Now, there's plenty more info about the epic indie band's upcoming LP, which is "the third album in a triptych of excursions about man's impact on the natural world," according to an admirably breathless post on Matador's website. The cover is above, and below you'll find the tracklist as well as a stream and download of the song "Castaways".
Playing into the band's over-the-top tendencies, the CD and LP are both packaged with a "50-page perfect-bound book featuring a set of extracts from a dossier of records, photos, regulations and images collected by Shearwater's Jonathan Meiburg." The vinyl version also contains two bonus cuts.
Shearwater head out on tour in Europe starting in February (dates below) with a U.S. trek to come soon after.
