If you have no idea who Shearwater is, they're an awesome indie-folk-rock (but not the boring kind) band that started as a side project of some members of the band Okkervil River in 1999. They have released a few albums since then, including The Golden Archipelago earlier this year as well as Rook earlier in 2008 (both excellent albums, I strongly suggest checking them out). This latest release is a little different. Shearwater is Enron is a collection of instrumental songs recorded by the band (the songs don't even have names), including some live and/or improvised songs. If you're one of those people who can't stand Jonathan Meiburg's voice for whatever reason, this may be the album to finally get you interested in the band.
Enough chit chat. Get this album and listen to it.
