Default Shearwater

From Last.FM

Quote:
Shearwater was formed by two bandmembers of Austin, TX's Okkervil River. Okkervil's singer and guitarist, Will Sheff, and back-up vocalist and accordian/keyboard player, Jonathan Meiburg formed Shearwater so they could write softer, more folk-influenced music. Band members include Jonathan Meiburg, Will Sheff, Thor Harris, Howard Draper, and Kim Burke.
To date, Shearwater has released four full length albums, The Dissolving Room, Everybody Makes Mistakes, Winged Life, and Palo Santo as well as an EP entitled Thieves and a split album with Okkervil River entitled Sham Wedding/Hoax Funeral.

Beginning at some point in 2005, Will Sheff lessened his role in the band. Jonathan Meiburg wrote the entirety of Palo Santo.
I just found this by going through the recommendations and was delightfully surprised by it. It's more piano oriented music, really light and soft. I'd say this is one of those bands that any Indie or Folk fan would enjoy. if you like Okkervil River, I'd say this is closest to Black Sheep Boy.

If anyone is able to find some albums and up them, then I would love said person.

This band is fairly meh, even their best album is basically average. I was surprise Will Sheff could release something so just decent. They have a few good songs though.

I was listening to the first song off Rook and almost crapped my pants when it got super loud.
