Shearwater’s ‘The Golden Archipelago’ now streaming on NPR
Just last month NPR Music offered up a slice of brand-new Spoon early, streaming their entire album “Transference” a full week before its release, and now they’ve got another full-length album for your listening pleasure from another critically acclaimed batch of Austinites.
This time around, it’s the new album from from Shearwater, the earnest and aspiring outfit fronted by thoughtful, examining bird and nature enthusiast Jonathan Meiburg. NPR is streaming “The Golden Archipelago” in its entirety for a limited time ahead of the album’s digital release Tuesday, Feb. 16 and physical release Feb. 23.
NPR recommends giving the album a listen “without interruption and on headphones, if possible,” and that’s fair advice — the third of a triptych of thematically linked albums, it’s a grand, intricate work deserving of a special level of attention.
