Shearwater‘s dramatic new record, The Golden Archipelago, came out Tuesday (Feb 23) on Matador Records and they’re currently in the midst of a European tour to promote the album. Have no fear though, the band will be back in America next month just in time to hit up SXSW and play a few shows before heading to the Bowery Ballroom on Mar 27 for their only local show with Wye Oak and Hospital Ships.

All Shearwater tour dates, a video for “Hidden Lakes”, and some previously unreleased pics of Wye Oak from the Bell House after the jump.

      The new album is a bit “challenging”, Palo Santo is still one of my all time favorites.
