Jet Plane and Oxbow, Shearwater's second original full-length for Sub Pop, is their career-defining album the leap forward those of us who've been watching them for years have always believed they would make. Lush, powerful, and grand, with a confident edge heard in their live shows, it feels like the musical statement they ve been working toward through five albums and a decade on the road. It's an album that captures the light and darkness of our time through the lens of one of our most treasured bands.
