In December 2016, during Shearwater's last live show, bandleader Jonathan Meiburg picked up a slip of paper from the stage: a prayer request card, left behind by a church that had rented the Bowery Ballroom the night before.  \"\"At the time,\"\" Meiburg recalls, \"\"it seemed like a grim joke.\"\" The thundering songs of 2015's Jet Plane and Oxbo, were filled with fears for what the United States was becoming, and the recent election had confirmed them. Meiburg held the card up to the audience, asked the heavens for the swift (and natural) death of Trump and his enablers, and tore into \"\"Hail, Mary,\"\" the howling climax of 2006's Palo Santo.  After that, it was time to take a breath. Shearwater had recorded six LPs in ten years for Matador and Sub Pop, and toured the US and Europe many times; as the band drove home, Meiburg resolved to find a new approach. \"\"I felt hopeless,\"\" he admits. \"\"And I didn't want to make hopeless music.\"\"  For the next five years, he stretched out in all directions. First on his mind was a book-a nonfiction epic called A Most Remarkable Creature (published by Knopf in 2021), which took him to remote corners of South America in search of the strange birds of prey called caracaras and their origins in deep time. Musically he went just as wide, staging a reconstruction of David Bowie's Berlin Trilogy for WNYC's New Sounds, issuing a set of instrumental albums on Bandcamp, and forming a new band-Loma-with Texan producer\/engineer Dan Duszynski and singer Emily Cross. Loma made two dark and dreamlike albums for Sub Pop, and their self-titled debut found an admirer in Brian Eno, who collaborated with the band on the final track of their second LP, Don't Shy Away.  And in 2020, Meiburg finally returned to Shearwater, setting up shop in a weathered RV near Duszynski's studio to write an album that would reflect where he'd been. Above a makeshift desk, he placed a quote from TS Eliot: Be still, and wait without hope \/ for hope would be hope for the wrong thing. Wasn't that also a kind of prayer? Meiburg smiles. \"\"More like an approach I could believe in.\"\"  With Duszynski as a fellow performer and co-producer, The Great Awakening evolved through the long months of 2020 and 2021, emerging as a meditation on hope amid hopelessness, and the freedoms to be found (or dreamed about) in isolation. Several Shearwater veterans returned, including keyboardist and arranger Emily Lee and drummer Josh Halpern, but the rock gestures of Jet Plane fell away: The Great Awakening is a soulful and immersive travelog of grand atmospheres and intimate landscapes, decorated with field recordings from Meiburg's travels and anchored by his closely-recorded voice, more otherworldly and urgent than ever.  On loping lead single \"\"Xenarthran,\"\" he opens with a wry question-What did you expect?-then muddies the waters: the song's hymn-like chorus circles back on itself, as if caught in an eddy, and resolves in a wash of strings and a choir of howler monkeys-evoking a world of deep shadows and tantalizing glimmers of light. The same is true of the gorgeous, enigmatic \"\"Aqaba,\"\" as close to a love song as Shearwater has ever made, and the superficially triumphant \"\"Empty Orchestra\"\" turns out, on closer inspection, to be a reckoning with nihilism's seductive appeal. It's an album that couldn't have been made by any other band. It's hard not to hear The Great Awakening as the record Shearwater's been striving toward for years: it's a journey into the unknown, embracing sorrow and joy, beauty and terror. In the threshing of love's distortions and shimmerings, Meiburg sings, The stubbornest husk falls away. And the dust rises up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51595894096167,"sku":"617308022049","price":37.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4084026-2817372.jpg?v=1783408439"},{"product_id":"kills-no-wow-vinyl","title":"Kills - No Wow","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing.

The no-nonsense set also announced the arrival of the inimitable Chrissie Hynde.

Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered limited-edition SACD of Pretenders grants the influential music newfound clarity, punch, dynamics, and perspective that enhance the realism and attack of everything from Hynde's vocal snarl to the band's myriad textures.

Though dismissed upon it's original release in 1973, the former Velvet Underground member's third solo effort ultimately landed on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and remains one of his most lauded works. Addressing mature issues in stark fashion, the rock opera blends autobiographical reality, poetic license, and ambitious arrangements to tell the story of a couple's toxic relationship and it's fallout. Produced by Bob Ezrin and featuring an array of ace musicians, Berlin is an emotionally harrowing and sonically eclectic journey into the many of the worst tendencies of the human condition. Sourced from the original master tapes, housed in a Stoughton jacket, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g LP of Berlin presents the landmark recording in audiophile quality for the first time. The scope, balance, and reach of Ezrin's explosive production comes to the fore. As does the ample spaciousness and separation that help give the songs breathing room even when the music builds to an orchestral pitch. Reed's distinctive voice - central to every track - sounds direct, immediate, centered. The realism and clarity of his tone make it appear as if he's entered the room. You can trace his breath control, reserved coolness, and commanding phrasing. And sense the implied violence, delusion, and sorrow in the questions and statements he issues in the persona of the protagonist Jim - as well as the empathy, fatigue, confusion, and frustration he projects in his guise as Caroline.Mobile Fidelity's reissue also puts into a new, improved light the brilliant contributions of the standout session players. Steve Winwood (Hammond organ), Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone), Randy Brecker (trumpet), and Procol Harum drummer B.J. Wilson play key roles. The core band assisting Reed and Ezrin on a majority of Berlin - Alice Cooper guitarists Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter, drum maven Aynsley Dunbar, Cream bassist Jack Bruce - turn in a collective performance for the ages. None more so than Bruce, whose bass lines resonate on this LP with a roundedness, fatness, tautness, and control that give songs added depth and foundation. Ezrin's restrained piano, full of body and decay, performs a similar function. Expanding on the gritty themes he explored with the Velvet Underground, and arranging them into a conceptual tale, Reed transforms Berlin into a candid report of what was happening behind closed doors everywhere. Deemed by the Chicago Tribune as 'a spare, understated song cycle of nearly suicidal intensity about a crumbling marriage,' it deals head-on with heavyweight topics such as domestic abuse, drug addiction, mental illness, custodial rights, prostitution, and depression. Reed's purple narratives detail issues that would attract mainstream attention many years later - and which continue to spur vital conversations. Akin to a classic film noir or hardboiled novel, Berlin skirts any attempt to varnish it's rough interiors. Functioning as both a contrast and counterweight, the record's beautiful, symphonic-leaning exteriors somehow both heighten and lessen the severity of the vignettes. The theatrical swells of woodwinds, strings, and brass feature the same streaks of black humor that inform Reed's writing. That edginess and eccentricity, and Reed's investment in the album's three characters and situations, function as magnets that draw us in even when the sadness, meanness, and darkness prompt us to look away.Save for the opening romance of the title track and false hope of the damning (and downright nasty) 'Sad Song,' Berlin largely trades in doom and depression. A record that starts off with a muted celebration and fond recollection ends with motherless children, slashed-wrists suicide, and a callous partner who feels no remorse for his brutal actions but professes gratitude for what becomes an unmiigated disaster. 'Life is meant to be more than this,' Reed sings in combination protest and resignation on the ironically gorgeous 'Caroline Says II.' Before the next song finishes - a bleak chronicle of behaviors and decisions relayed with intentional misogyny, hatred, and shaming, and whose subdued tenor gets fractured by the sounds of wailing children crying for their mother - that life has gotten far worse. Minutes later, when Reed and company shape the swirling fever dream called 'The Bed,' that life is snuffed out. Oh, oh, what a feeling, indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51596200411431,"sku":"196588772214","price":53.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4367888-3229032_9b86a5b3-7d47-4d6c-8517-13d192ad746f.jpg?v=1783413291"},{"product_id":"duran-duran-duran-duran-vinyl","title":"Duran Duran (Remastered)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing.
