The Oedipus Project
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”.

The Oedipus Project is up and running with a new media player. No longer will we be hassled with SoundCloud’s legal issues and arcane practices.
So let’s turn our attention to Austin, Texas.
Okkervil River released their sixth album, I Am Very Far, last week.
It’s been three years since their last album, The Stand Ins, when Okkervil River took a brief sojourn as the backup band for Roky Erickson, the 13th Floor Elevators’ legendary frontman.
I Am Very Far is the first Okkervil River album that leader Will Sheff has produced.
“Wake and Be Fine” is a free download from the band’s website.
