Blue Water White Death
A few months ago if I was to say "Blue Water, White Death" it may have brought images of sharks in the deep waters of Australia as in the 1971 documentary. However, Shearwater's lead singer Jonathan Meiburg and Xiu Xiu's frontman Jamie Stewart are about to redefine how we look at that phrase. On October 12th Chicago's Graveface Records will be releasing the new album from this surprisingly well-matched duo. What you get when you combine these two musicians is the pleasant and near-angelic delivery of Meiburg mixed with harsh experimentation of Stewart. You can hear this blend in the eight-track albums first single "Song for the Greater Jihad".
