Shearwater Why I Love My Home (songs for Charles Burchfield)

Jonathan Meiburg is the force behind the majestic band named Shearwater. These are his words about this limited 10” that should be in your collection as soon as possible:

“I was invited to perform at the opening of the Whitney Museum’s exhibit “Heat Waves in a Swamp: The Paintings of Charles Burchfield” last year. I’d never heard of Burchfield before, but loved the whimsy, darkness, and grandeur of his giant watercolors, and wrote this pair of songs as an attempt to evoke some of his paintings in sound, since Burchfield often tried to depict sounds in his paintings. At the performance, I was joined by Andy Stack of Wye Oak, who set his drums aside and instead played keyboard, melodica, and a variety of sampled insect and frog songs from Burchfield’s beloved Ohio. –” (JM)

This is a 10” single, not a 12”.
