Greenshoelace brings you the entire new Shearwater album The Golden Achipelago. The album is desribed as “the third panel of a triptych that includes 2006’s enigmatic Palo Santo and 2008’s acclaimed Rook, albums linked by themes of environmental and personal decay and humans’ impact on nature. In The Golden Achipelago, Shearwater turn to a portrait of life on islands – a world of alternating lushness and austerity, numinous silences and sudden cataclysms, and the strange flowerings of plant, animal, and human life that only arise in isolation. ”

So turn your lights off and listen to this in the quiet solace of your apartment while you save some energy. Or crank this in your hybrid on the drive to work tomorrow. Al Gore would be proud.
