Shearwater - The Golden Archipelago
Reviewed by yewknee
Shearwater has always struck me as one of those bands that is superbly artistic, extremely creative and a tiny bit dramatic. This is mostly due to the delivery of the falsetto vocals of Jonathan Meiburg. This record, as with their others, feels conceptual and should be listened to from top to bottom. Overall, there's more energy and tension here than the previous albums I've heard and I really like it. It's an epic record that takes energy to listen to but rewards you in the end.
