Shearwater’s seventh album Animal Joy is out on Sub Pop next week, but you can stream it now below courtesy of NPR. The album is the first to follow the “Island Arc” trilogy of Palo Santo, Rook, and The Golden Archipelago, and as such the band have decided to change their sound a little bit, making it a bit more rocky and a little less ornamented. As the press release said: “No glockenspiels were touched in the making of this album.”
