- A glorious four-song set that's at once pristine and ramshackle - equal parts clarity and clatter - not to mention one of our best Tiny Desk Concerts yet.

Can we get a refresh on Shearwater at the Tiny Desk?!
No, why? Pick others...have too much!!!
Jonathan Meiburg is a wonderful human being who cares for bird and animal life and the music that pours out of him is a reflection of that love for all forms of life... Shearwater is his way of telling his stories and when he sings it is from his heart and is simply astonishingi
We supported Shearwater on one of their EU dates supporting the Rook album and both Jonathan and Thor were lovely people.
When the guitar started up I felt shivers down my spine. When the vocals started I didn't even know what to do-it was that good!
Fun fact: that guy who speaks in the beginning (with the long hair) is named Thor Harris and he's in SWANS! Or was, rather. For their recent incarnation. Also in Angels of Light. He's an amazing drummer/homemade instruments player. Really brings the colors to light.
Pleasse do not Talk about your god, are most of people Who been here just for music...jewish, Christian, budist, pickpockets, and me too✋
Songs: "Rooks" "Leviathan, Bound" "North Col" " I Was A Cloud" Session date: November 14, 2008
That is one amazing voice.
I have been a big fan of Shearwater and , for me, it all started with Jonathan Meiburg's amazing vocal talents. His voice is an instrument all unto itself. And his lyrics read like poetry.
I've watched a lot of Tiny Desk concerts, and this one is still my favorite. Amazing sound.
Every time some dude opens a falsetto, the Tim Buckley comparisons arise. I think he's got his own sound, but the Mark Hollis influences I heard of before listening to the band are more accurate IMO. Some late Talk Talk to the feel of the music, too. Ah, whatever. Shearwater is a wonderful band. Glad I just discovered them.
Absolutely beautiful voice, tunes , lyrics , and the meaning behind this music . Very inspiring indeed 😊🎶❤️😊🎶❤️
This was my first introduction to Shearwater. I still come back to it. Beautiful set.
This band have crept up on me over the last year. His voice really reminds me of someone from the eighties....any ideas??
on another note, this band is incredible.
That voice! What a gift.
Just wow! I'm only one track in and I'm stood at my desk at work trying not to cry!
when i was a teenager they brought one of those water instruments to an ecological thing on the cliffs at PT Fermin...it changed my life.
*gallop, gallop* "Thou have cometh from the hills o' yonder. May I invite thee to break bread with thy company?"
@TheDaddyO44 Perhaps Mark Hollis, of the band Talk Talk (check out the song New Grass).
I have not listen to Shearwater in a while. Forgot how beautiful their music is.
Came across Sheerwater through music they made for a film about Tristan de Cunha. Fine analogue stuff in a digitally dominated age. Many thanks.
I've got the Rooks album now and it's fantastic! Leviathan, Bound is my favourite track at the minute. Thank you NPR, your Tiny Desk Concerts have got me into so much great music.
This concert havent been listened to enough!
❤
12:53 For an extensive follow-up of the little story that Jonathan Meiburg shares before the last song of the set, you could refer to his wonderful book on caracara, titled "A Most Remarkable Creature: The Hidden Life and Epic Journey of the World's Smartest Birds of Prey", published in 2021. Also on that subject, on Shearwater's TH-cam channel, you'll find a great conversation of Meiburg with ornithologist Bret Whitney.
It is not called a waterphone because of Richard Waters but because it has water in it. I know. Richard Waters
Shearwater is an incredible band. And Kim Burke is the most lovely woman in modern music.
Cool. I totally know that dude with the 3D glasses. That's Jordan Geiger. I love their cover of Novacane. I just bought the split 7" a couple days ago
Really inspiring to hear the great variety of artists here on NPR's channel. Thanks, NPR!
yeah, what a breathtaking session!
Absolutely brilliant.
wow this sounds so amazing high
Hahahahah! I DID make your avatar! NPR brings people of all subcultures together, I guess. :P
Simply awesome
Fantastic!
So beautiful 💕💕💕💕💕
This is incredible
guy with 3d glasses...the guy from Back to the Future 2!
@TheDaddyO44 He's got some Bowie in him.
@elboy86 It's called Rooks, from the album "Rook".
Thor is really rocking the David St Hubbins look and voice!
wow... channelling Tim Buckley from the 60's...
I was looking for this comment!
@neptunecello he wants to see in 3d
@jzrull88 He has yes, but jonburmeister's suggestion of Mark Hollis is probably closer to what I was thinking. It's also either Ferg Harper or Steve Hogarth (who went on to join Marillion) when they were in the band Europeans back in the eighties - I think it's the way the whole timbre of his voice transforms when he sings the loud/powerful bits
Miss those VHS days
☺️
This album was a revelation frankly. Just stunning
Revelation about what?
@@carmencaamano9434 what a strange question.
the second song is my favorite---
I listen it first time in 2009.
Oh my . . . *GASP!*
so beautiful
I went and looked it up---the waterphone. Found some great stuff: Mark Korven.
I think I know what the concept of the album's about.
John Olguin, Pt. Fermin, CA put on a class when i was a kid. People played those instruments out to sea and the whales answered.
Did anyone else feel some awkward tension in Thor's "Yeah" after Jonathan's Lost joke? xD
I think about this every time I come back to this video.
"Leviathon Bound"
Holy... Either you made my avatar, or the same person made both of ours. And someone else on FA turned me on to Shearwater.
his Voice is epic. Simon and Garfunkly.... but has more feeling ...fantastic
would you spell them "Kahn and Celeznik" i'll try typing that in.
rainy daze, First song on here is called Rooks............
@chad174670 yea either a 000 15 or a 00 15
I actually meant Jeff Buckley.....
Scott Walker, perhaps?
Mesmerizing.
rooks

Would anyone know what the first song is called?
