Comment: Shearwater performed this gig on the sixth of
February, 2016 at Mercury Lounge NYC which was virtually a promotion act of
Jonathan Meiburg-led combo`s brand new one Jet
Plane and Oxbow having embraced obvious hints at adverse side effects on
nature by the human being`s activity. Indeed, I like the musicians who have
been having both responsibility and courage to spit it out despite the so-called
political correctness superimposed by some politicians and businessmen with
purpose to cover up their own slippery decisions and activities. Musically it
is an organic shift between alternative/indie pop/rock, Americana and art rock
with some hints toward ambient/drone/electronic music. Of course, Jonathan
Meiburg`s sorrowful singing style is a main component within the ensemble`s
music and also throughout the gig. The most experimental new song is obviously Stray Light at Clouds Hill where the
last mentioned elements are neatly represented for. Additionally, there are
represented three compositions from the band`s previous albums and a cover of
David Bowie`s Look Back In Anger. Very good.
