Shearwater – “Slugs In The Marigolds” (Feat. Doug Wieselman)

Jonathan Melburg announced the new Shearwater album The New World last month alongside the release of "Daydream Unbeliever" and "More And More." Now he's back with a new single for fans of slugs and saxophones.

"Slugs In The Marigolds" features Doug Wieselman on sax, and its accompanying music video has a slug going on an adventure. "This was a band favorite on The New World," Meiburg says. "We liked how its loose, sunny feeling plays against the lyric — and we loved how Doug's sax slithers up beside you."

"This was one of those rare videos where everything just fell into place," he adds. "The idea came to me on a walk in the woods, near the spot where I found our slug hero. Forty-eight hours later, after a grand day out with photographer Jason Benson, I put the slug right back where they came from, with a little extra lettuce to chew on. It's my favorite Shearwater video since 'Quiet Americans.'"
