Ornithologically inclined Austinites Shearwater begin another tour in support of Rook tonight (October 13) in Chicago. The tour also comes in support of the band's The Snow Leopard digital EP, which comes out tomorrow via Matador. The set collects a number of live tracks and rarities in addition to the title track off Rook, including a cover of Baby Dee's "So Bad" and a take on traditional song "Henry Lee".
After a handful of shows in the U.S. (including a pair of solo sets for leader Jonathan Meiburg), Shearwater will skip across the Atlantic for a few weeks' worth of European dates.
And finally, a little known fact for Shearwater fans: In addition to inspiring po-faced indie rock songs, birds are hella funny.
