Self-Releases The band toured the Jet Plane and Oxbow album in 2016. The lineup for the tour was considerably different than the studio album, retaining Meiburg and Oswald but adding Emily Lee on keyboards, Sadie Powers on bass and Josh Halpern on drums. During the tour, it was customary for the band to play several covers from the David Bowie album Lodger as an encore. On March 25, 2016, the entire album was covered at Chicago's Schuba's Tavern, followed by a subsequent recording for the AV Club the next day. This was released as a limited edition vinyl and digital download and would eventually lead to a performance of the entire Berlin Trilogy at Brookfield Place, New York for WNYC in October of 2018. The live recording was released as a limited digital download in 2019. During the tour, Meiburg became impressed with openers Cross Record. Meiburg and Cross Record's Emily Cross and Dan Duszynski went on to form a side-project, Loma, which has released two albums on Sub Pop: the self-titled Loma (2018) and Don't Shy Away (2020). In 2020, Shearwater began production of a crowdfunded studio album, but the recording was disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 lockdowns. In response, Meiburg enlisted Dan Duszynski to produce the ambient Quarantine Music series, released digitally through Bandcamp. The new studio album, The Great Awakening, was released in June 2022.
