The Island Arc Live (Excerpts) (2011)

by Shearwater

supported by

Zane Metcalfe In this period of Shearwater's music they reached their most powerful point. It is visceral, intense and deeply passionate. I love their newer albums, but the Island Arc of those three albums, (Golden Archipelago, Rook, Palo Santo) is where my heart and love for the band lies. Absolutely stunning musicians. Favorite track: Hail, Mary.

e11e How can anyone not love Shearwater? That's the question.

about

On January 15, 2011, Shearwater presented the three albums of their thematically-linked 'Island Arc' Trilogy - Palo Santo, Rook, and The Golden Archipelago - in a sold-out, 3-hour epic concert with longtime friends and collaborators at Austin's Central Presbyterian Church. This album consists of excerpts from that concert, mixing favorites like "Hail, Mary" and "The Snow Leopard" with rarely-performed tracks like "Lost Boys," "Going is Song", and "Missing Islands".

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 20 fans who also own “The Island Arc Live (Excerpts) (2011)”

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
