The band's ninth studio album, "Jet Plane and Oxbow," eschews their typical organic feel for a synthetic, art-rock sound that sounds both futuristic and informed by the past.
- The album was recorded over two years in multiple locations including New York, Austin, and at producer Dave Fridmann's Tarbox Road Studios in upstate New York.
- "Jet Plane and Oxbow" was released on January 22, 2016, by Sub Pop Records.
- The album saw Shearwater embracing synthesizers and electronic elements more prominently than on previous releases, incorporating them into their signature intricate arrangements.
Shearwater is a project led by Jonathan Meiburg, known for its cerebral and dynamic art-rock. Formed in Austin, Texas, the band has evolved through multiple sonic explorations, consistently pushing boundaries within the indie music landscape. On "Jet Plane and Oxbow," Shearwater pivoted towards a more direct, synth-laden sound, marking a significant stylistic departure from their previous work.
