Shearwater’s baroque pop, as heard on last year’s The Golden Archipelago (TMT Review) on Matador, is coming to get you. If you’ve resisted their epic magnificence thus far, you’re a fool and a coward. You might even want to cast yourself to a far, far, far away archipelago of your own, one that’s lacking in any kind of brilliant exploration of the metaphysical, so you’ll have to figure island life out all by your sad self. If you do not want to suffer these consequences, then perhaps you should check this list of Shearwater’s tourdates. Good luck. Don’t be a jerk.
