The Texas-based country-meets-slowcore trio Shallowater have announced the deluxe version of their 2023 debut album There Is a Well. It's out on January 22, via Tight Knit.
The album will be re-released with live renditions, covers and remixes. Horse Jumper of Love covers album opener "Birdshot," Colin Miller takes on "Angels," and fish narc remix "Laredo."
Horse Jumper of Love's cover of "Birdshot" is out today. Listen below:
Horse Jumper of Love's Dimitri Giannopoulos talks about covering "Birdshot:"
"Shallowater is one of my favorite contemporary acts doing it right now. They have one of the most unique takes on slowcore, which is hard to pull off because it’s a genre that tends to be derivative. I sat with ‘Birdshot’ for a while when Tristan asked me to cover it. I tried doing it exact but the original is just too good, I couldn’t be satisfied with my version. In the end I improvised this one. It allowed me to stop comparing it to the original. I was inspired by the Cat Power covers record."
Since There Is a Well, the band put out another album, 2025's God's Gonna Give You a Million Dollars, which was produced by Alex Farrar (Wednesday, MJ Lenderman). They're currently on tour with Chat Pile and Soul Glow.
