Preston Shearwater (I preordered @shearwaterband.bsky.social’s new CD!)

Most days I’d say “Backchannels” by @shearwaterband.bsky.social is my favorite song. I’m feeling it today. “The night is here, but still it’s spinning out stars in its wake. That stubborn light pools in your heart, warm and nacreous, baby. The milk of sighs and dreams.” youtu.be/XQ_PDEAT-_E?...

ICYMI - we’re going back on the road with @shearwaterband.bsky.social in November. We’re going to need your help - more on that to come! Full schedule with ticket links: lomatheband.com/tour-dates

Ask not “when can *I* see Shearwater and Loma”, ask “when can Shearwater and Loma see *me*”. If you can answer that question with “this Halloween or sometime in November”, you really ought to.

Some good stuff from mid-June that I liked that maybe you’ll like to? Aka #FiveThingsWeLikedThisWeek from 12/06 Ft. #RealNumbers @shearwaterband.bsky.social #MargaretGlaspy #Wishy & #Tasha fortherabbits.net/2026/07/15/f...

We're making it official today: Shearwater & Loma will be touring in November for the first time since 2018—and the first time ever as co-headliners, with Any Kind supporting. Dates, locations, and ticket links for the *When Can I See You?* tour at shearwatermusic.com/tour-dates/ More soon...SW

Some distraction from dystopia with a brand-new episode of Beginnings... Great talk with @jonathanmeiburg.bsky.social of @shearwaterband.bsky.social! Aesthetic randomness, Song of Myself, the wonder of the universe, existential lessons from world travel and MORE! 🎧 tinyurl.com/BeginningsSh...

Shearwater is the best rock n' roll band still kicking.

I apologize for using the word “stoked”… that’s how you know it’s me talking and not JM… (EL) (Though it’s not really an active word in my vocabulary either)

We’re so stoked to be on All Songs this week. www.npr.org/2026/06/23/n...

I also made 3 selections which will be in another video. And then we did a joint interview about the new @shearwaterband.bsky.social record. Those will be coming up soon!

JM picked 3 records from the Greenpoint record store, For the Record, when we went for an interview recently. What’s in his bag? www.instagram.com/reel/DZ-PK9F...

JM will be playing an acoustic set and signing copies of The New World on August 1 at Rough Trade West, right after our album is released! Get tickets now: link.dice.fm/l0ab0fdd2ed4

COVER LOVER: "Natural One" (The Folk Implosion cover) by @shearwaterband.bsky.social

This @shearwaterband.bsky.social song is great and the music video is even better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=erNf...

The New World has been dubbed Album of the Month in the August 2026 issue of Uncut Magazine! Four whole pages, and a 9/10 review. Thanks to Louis Pattison for a great article and interview. Pick it up at a newsstand near you now (or soon!).

Ariolimax represent!

Shearwater (@shearwaterband.bsky.social) are releasing a new album, "The New World," on July 31. Now they have shared the album’s third single, “Slugs in the Marigolds,” via a music video. www.undertheradarmag.com/news/shearwa...

We had a great time on @eliaeinhorn.bsky.social’s radio show on @eastvillageradio.bsky.social. Listen to a replay now: www.mixcloud.com/EastVillageR...

Our new video for our latest single “Slugs in the Marigolds” is our favorite since “Quiet Americans.” We don’t want to give too much away, but we’re pretty sure it’ll make you smile. (And keep an eye out—so to speak—for the second ending.) Watch and pre-order: shearwater.lnk.to/TheNewWorld

Happy new Shearwater nature rescue video day to all who celebrate. Ariolimax to the MAX!

Shearwater announces new album: hear "Daydream Unbeliever" & "More and More" www.brooklynvegan.com/shearwater-a...

Watch this now. You may become a bit obsessed. Apparently @jonathanmeiburg.bsky.social did, while on a research vessel in Antarctica. Gorgeous song, mesmerizing video, wrenching if, like me, you can't stop thinking about climate change.

Please listen to the gorgeous new pair of songs from @shearwaterband.bsky.social. That is all. Thank you.

@shearwaterband.bsky.social announce new album 'The New World'; hear two songs, "Daydream Unbeliever" and "More And More"

Our new album, The New World, will be released worldwide on July 31st (!). But you can watch the JM-directed video for our first single. “Daydream Unbeliever” now. youtu.be/iqfqt1XYuds...

CHANGE OF PLANS - We’ve decided to bump up the premiere of “Daydream Unbeliever” to 5AM Eastern / 10AM BST to better align with our friends in the UK and Europe. So watch live with us on YouTube. Link in bio and youtu.be/iqfqt1XYuds?...

❤️

Test pressings for The New World just arrived!

An update on the album, JM’s trip to Antarctica, tour, and JM’s book! New music soon… youtu.be/V2esSOroIrc?...

The moment the birds appeared, it reset my implicit assumption about scale. A moment of disorientation, and rebalancing.

As the new album approaches, we’re supposed to “engage” you by sending ever-more-urgent reminders that it’s about to exist in forms you can buy (or steal). But we think the world has enough exclamation points already. So for the next while, we’re going to send you moments of calm.
