I’ve just learned that a scam has been reaching out to indiegogo users, claiming to be me, offering to ‘help’ with their campaign—& using this phony email:
contact.jonathanmeiburg@gmail.com.
No matter what email they use, if you receive a message like this, please know this is not real. (JM)

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

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."

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.

Friends,
Four years ago, we launched a crowdfunding campaign for a new Shearwater album—and you helped us create, promote & distribute an LP we loved, without the support of a label.
We’re doing that again now, for our nearly-complete new album The New World.

On July 4 I always think of this gorgeous @jonathanmeiburg.bsky.social song
You know how sometimes
You're so tired of the country
Its poptones and its pale kings
And its fences like knives
But in the same breath
Your heart breaks with the feeling
With love and with grieving
For its irrational life
You know how sometimes
You're so tired of the country
Its poptones and its pale kings
And its fences like knives
But in the same breath
Your heart breaks with the feeling
With love and with grieving
