Album Description Their fourth album resembles the austere folk of previous Shearwater albums only incidentally. Thorny forests of static and distortion sprout up occasionally. The band also channels previously unheard influences. "They remain, in parts, as somber still as American Music Club, but now add more than a dash of 'Spirit Of Eden' Talk Talk and a whole heap of '70s FM pop. Soft rock chamber music if you will; like Devendra Banhart or Iron & Wine, Shearwater are capable of emotional resonance through the most brittle of arrangements. Stunning" - Uncut. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsStunning 4th Offering M. Gaines | Alabama, United States | 06/14/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Shearwaters new effort "Palo Santo" brings to mind the solitude and beauty of the best moments of Talk Talk ( Laughing Stock,Spirit of Eden)taking the listener on a musical journey that, with a dedicated ear, will find one returning repeatedly. Meiburg is developing his own unique vocal style that begs comparisons with Darren Richard of Pinetop Seven, Glen Richards of Augie March and Jeff Buckley. In this day and age of pre packaged cookie cutter offerings it's fresh, invigoriating and stimulating to know that there are still artist who care about what matters, the music. Shearwater are one of those unique few who matter." My Favorite For The First Half of 2006 James G. | Chicago, IL | 06/20/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This record has been getting great reviews, but it's a shame that it doesn't seem to be generating the response from the public that it deserves. Like past Shearwater albums it is a floaty, dreamy experience, but unlike past Shearwater albums it has a harder and dirtier edge - and the songs just seem more cohesive and focused. This record symbolizes the rebirth of Shearwater, and you may as well listen to it now rather than five years down the line when someone does a retrospective on great underappreciated albums from the past." The album to beat for best of 2006 J. Palmer | Houston TX | 07/10/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Well, here it is already, the year halfway over, but by far, Shearwater is out of the gate this year and seemingly there are few bands in the race for what could be a slam-dunk for record of the year. Jonathan Meiburg has found the soul of Mark Hollis, consumed it whole, and regurgitated it into a stark beauty that we haven't heard in years. This album could actually be in the running for best of the decade. If you like Shearwater, you're going to love this album. If you've never heard of Shearwater, delve here and let it wash over you."
