Shearwater - The Golden Archipelago from KMS on Vimeo.

My main gig these days is with Shearwater and we recently finished a new record, The Golden Archipelago. It will be released on Feb 9, 2010 on Matador Records.

This video is a mix of a few of the highlights from the new album and visuals from an accompanying dossier compiled by Jonathan during his years of world travel. The video was created by JP Garrigues, featuring additional footage from his recent trip to Iceland.

From IFC.com:

The new IFC Original Series, DINNER WITH THE BAND is the first cooking show combining culinary delights, musical performances and conversations with some of today’s most acclaimed indie music artists.

On DINNER WITH THE BAND, Sam Mason, the tattooed and celebrated NYC chef (Tailor, WD-50), invites a band to his Brooklyn loft where he shows them how to add his signature culinary spin to their favorite “on-tour” food. In the meantime, Chef Mason and the artists converse on food, music, and life while cooking together. After they “chow down” they “get down” as each act takes to the loft’s stage to play a rockin’ musical set.

Chef Mason, who recently took on Iron Chef Morimoto on Iron Chef America, is the former pastry chef of New York’s WD-50 and current proprietor of SOHO’s contemporary dining and cocktail parlor, Tailor. A modern day pioneer of avant-garde cooking and a James Beard nominee, Mason brings a casual approach to his dishes that stimulate the palate as well as the dialogue.

To complement the show’s on-air play, IFC.com will feature recipes, bonus footage and behind-the-scenes moments from each episode, including additional performances from each band.
