Led (as always) by songwriter and natural historian Jonathan Meiburg, The New World's nine immersive songs find the group farther afield than ever, and in rare company: along with Meiburg's fellow Shearwater's Emily Lee and Dan Duszynski, the album's supporting cast includes instrumental wizard Shahzad Ismaily, saxophonist and clarinetist Doug Wieselman, qanunist Farouz Zriek, guitarist Leo Abrahams, ngonist Mamadou Kouyate, percussionists Mahamadou Tounkara and Moctar Kouyate (of Ngoni Ba), and unclassifiable drummer Thor Harris. (There's even a surprise visit from a certain L. Anderson.) That might sound like a lot of passengers, but they're all ideal company for a headlong journey through joy, confusion, reverence and defiance, with Meiburg's voice as a graceful yet elusive guide. Both spare and ornate, The New World is absorbing in a way few albums are; it's hard not to listen to the end once you drop in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Even Song\u003cbr\u003e2 More and More\u003cbr\u003e3 Daydream Unbeliever\u003cbr\u003e4 A Mink in the Dusk\u003cbr\u003e5 The Only Sound I'm Afraid of\u003cbr\u003e6 The High Ranges\u003cbr\u003e7 Slugs in the Marigolds\u003cbr\u003e8 Anamnesia\u003cbr\u003e9 You and Your Dog\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SECRETLY DISTRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46473052717253,"sku":"SHEARWATER-THE-NEW-WORLD-LP-0288","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/6023\/3669\/files\/4517304-3606135.jpg?v=1782854550","url":"https:\/\/shop.brooklynvegan.com\/products\/shearwater-the-new-world-lp","provider":"BrooklynVegan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
