The Oedipus Project
Loma has been one of my favorite bands the past couple of years.
The trio of Emily Cross, Dan Duszynski, and (Shearwater frontman) Jonathan Meiburg have 2 albums, Loma from 2018 and most recently Don’t Shy Away.
Listen here to a track from each of these exquisite recordings: “Who is Speaking?” (Loma) and “Half Silences” (Don’t Shy Away).
“Who is Speaking”
“Half Silences”
Shearwater, the indie rock band from Austin, was formed by Okkervil River members Jonathan Meiburg and Will Sheff in 1999.
Since then Meiburg left Okkervil River and Sheff split from Shearwater.
Fellow Travelers is the 8th Shearwater album.
It is a cover’s album including songs from St. Vincent, Coldplay, Xiu Xiu, Clinic and their version of Folk Implosion’s “Natural One”.
“Natural One”
Shearwater from Austin, Texas, was founded by former members of Okkervil River.
Jonathan Meiburg is the trio’s leader and his pure unmistakable voice is penetratingly irresistible.
We first spotlighted Shearwater here in 2010 upon the release of The Golden Archipelago.
Their 7th album, Animal Joy, is due on Valentine’s Day. “You As You Were” is a preview.
