Shearwater: "Breaking The Yearlings"
When it comes to Shearwater, you're never quite sure if that song about an island is a song about an island, or a giant metaphor for loneliness. So forgive me if I'm not sure what to make of "Breaking the Yearlings," the first single from the band's Sub Pop debut, Animal Joy. Yearlings are baby horses, essentially, and breaking them mean training them, and given the direct shoutouts to "yearlings" in the track, this is probably about the abuse and training of young horses. But this is also maybe about how society beats you into a training when you reach a certain point in your own maturation. Who the hell knows? All I know is that this is anthemic, howling, and has a heavier groove than any Shearwater track before it. I'm cool with that.
Animal Joy is due out on Feb. 14. Listen below.
