6 days left and there's some new goodies up as perks!!

Shearwater @shearwaterband.bsky.social · Aug 1

Dear Friends -

For the final week of the crowdfunding campaign for The New World, we've added a few more perks courtesy of our pal Mark Ohe, who sent us a care package of tour posters from our Matador and Sub Pop days.

A CD of The New World will definitely be available. New World Vultures is only available via the crowdfund (but between you and me, I bet we’ll have to make more than we’ve sold through IGG, so they may also be available, though in limited quantities, later as well). (EL)

Needless to say, we're still a bit bewildered by the success of the campaign; we spent the last two weeks in the studio, and we're getting close to landing this thing.

Thank you for making our dreams come true.

We hadn't seen some of these in many years; posters tend to get pretty beaten up on tours, or lost in the shuffle. But Mark O, bless him, had kept a few of them in one piece, and he signed 'em too. (So did I).

I’m honored that AMRC found @mariapopova.bsky.social’s curious eyes. And I agree with her.

Shipped out my (EL’s) favorite JPOB stage light today to Alex, who very generously supported our album crowdfund.

One of my favorite bands is crowdfunding to release a new double album. I kicked in to get a digital copy, but was gobsmacked by this singular perk, which awaits a very rich superfan. The FAQ includes this gem: "Q: Is the "Fateful Choice" incentive real? A: We dare you."

A picture of a person standing in front of two similar-looking gates, accompanied by this description of an Indiegogo perk: "A Fateful Choice. $150,000 USD. Guarantee our future, if you dare! For this (admittedly unlikely) gift, we’ll record *two* new full-length albums, send them both to you, and let you choose which one will follow The New World & New World Vultures. The other will be yours exclusively, so long as you don’t make it publicly available. Plus—of course—Immortality."

Please consider us gob-smacked, and deeply grateful.

Thanks for more-than-exceeding our first day expectations for our new album’s crowdfunding campaign! There are still many days to go and great perks, but we wanted to express our gratitude after a banner day.

Technically, it’s one LP and then its companion album. :) But yes, it’s a lot of music!

Ah! Yes, we had other names for the perks when we began, but then as we worked on the campaign, we slowly got rid of the alternate names. Thanks for pointing that out - I'll go and change that in the FAQ.

Sick of all the AI slop entertainment?

@shearwaterband.bsky.social is a real band made of real humans creating real music.

They've got a new album coming out and you can get a producer's credit on it!

Hello! We're not sure what you mean - the only way to get the physical album(s) at the moment is as a campaign perk, and that's a signed album/CD.
