Everyone wish a big Happy Birthday to JM on his big birthday! He has just returned from hi Antarctic trip, having traversed 5 continents in 3 months. He is exhausted. I bet he’ll have more to say soon about his travels and the work we still have left on our record. Stay tuned… (EL)

Shearwater - Quiet Americans [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
YouTube video by Sub Pop
I regret that this ten-year-old song by @shearwaterband.bsky.social has never stopped being relevant but I am grateful for its existence.

I know most people have to work for a living, so a general strike or boycott is hard. But here are some other options. Every little bit helps.

A little look at some of the work I’m assisting with as research for my next book.

Jet Plane & Oxbow came out right before Brexit and Trump madness struck the world, and in my mind going to see it on tour at Night & Day in Manchester was like one perfect night before everything went to shit.
As such, it occupies a very special mental nook.

Hello to everyone from Antarctica! It means so much to me to know that JPOB found a place in your lives…this is really all I hope for from music, the feeling that in making it we might reach other people who feel the same (in the broadest sense). Thank you for keeping this music alive and well. JM

Radio Silence (acoustic), by Shearwater
from the album The Sky Is A Blank Screen: Live Recordings 2016
The radio lapses, the radio dies
The sky is a blank screen, an open receiver
Summon an old sound, rattle to life
Spin on an axis, fly into pieces
In disarray
@shearwaterband.bsky.social's accoustic version of Radio Silence gets me always. So beautiful and yet, there's an uncanny restlessness in it.

I made a silly one-off test pressing of one song from my as yet unreleased album, in hopes this will push me to move forward with putting this out into the world. If I do physical media, I should probably bite the bullet and make full LPs, right? Or do you think a single 45 is a good idea?

2026 will have 100 to 200 percent more new Shearwater albums than 2025 did—and maybe even some shows, at last. All the very best to you and yours — JM / SW

Happy new year to all of you from Antarctica, where I’m deep in book research & tagging along with a crew of mad scientists. But looking forward to returning later this year, carrying stories and songs to share with you.

Just sent this guy off to Antarctica. It’s just me minding the @shearwaterband.bsky.social fort for the next few months…

It’s been suggested that we make wasp nest hats as merch, and while intriguing, it also seems dangerous and expensive…

The number of wasps wend need to employ, though… and storing them in a tour van seems… dangerous.

He’s not there yet, but I’m pretty sure he’s not bringing the wasp nest hat…

Plus, we're reducing our Bowie's Berlin Trilogy Tote Bags from $10 to $5.
We hear music downloads make a great stocking stuffer.
In the meantime, all of us at team SW send the very best to you and yours this month—and we look forward to sharing new music with you soon.

Friends- We hope these dark days are nevertheless treating you well, and that you have at least a bit of rest in store before the joys and horrors of 2026 lurch into gear. (As for us, we're about to master a new album, and hope/expect that later next year we'll finally return to live performing).

For Bandcamp Friday, all of the @shearwaterband.bsky.social sheet music I transcribed for piano is on sale in a big bundle. We’ve got other bundles at a discount today as well plus the Bowie tote is only $5! shearwater.bandcamp.com

Yeah, it’s only gotten tougher and tougher to tour (financially, politically, health-wise), and especially to put on a big show which is what we’d like to do to play the songs as intended.

We're depending on some things working out that are not entirely up to us...but, we're doing the best we can to make this happen in the next year.
