Spoiler alert! We heard rumours Shearwater were pulling out all the stops with a show including – we kid you not – gloves that beam light. We couldn’t miss this.
Something had to give; another trilogy of albums about ornithology wasn’t going to cut it on Sub Pop and their blurred epics didn’t feel like those of a Sub Pop band.
In fact the only people concerned were the rabid fans of Okkervil River and their opinion on the matter depended on if they were also fans of Shearwater (the level of rabidity usually indicated which was which).
