Press:
SPIN:
“A haunting Jesus and Mary Chain rattle filtered through an anthemic guitar line as driven as something from another avian outfit, Doves.”
USOUNDS:
“Dreamlike, and at once melodically haunting and optimistic.”
SF GUARDIAN:
“This four-piece builds luxuriant canopies of shimmering guitars and propulsive rhythms reminiscent of British heart racers Doves and Elbow but bearing the intriguing twist of wounded vocals landing somewhere between Dean Wareham and Mercury Rev”
I'm sening Roger Daltry to your show to point out turtles. If there are no turtles to point out I will have him steal all of your drink tickets to buy $2 tecates for everyone.
Can I just call you guys the Owls, or was there already a band named that? Who knows. Anyway, I work for an online music review community and we got a promo copy of "Slingshot Echoes"...and I just gotta tell ya...it's very impressive. I'm glad I was the one who got to review it; you can check that out at the link below. If it's cool with you, and you've got a promo to offer, I'd like to get to hear your new EP and review it as well. Your music has hit a cord with me, I just want more. Either way, thanks for your time and keep doing what you're doing.
goddamn you mezzanine owls are on steroids for musicians! the hook in "ghost ship" has me snagged like a large mouthed bass surprised while racing across the top of the waters of an alabama lake! preach on brothers and sister, preach on.
NO, it's me , I thank you and thank LA.UNDERGROUND for introducing me to your music ...:o), i really enjoy your awesome "Slingshot Echoes",(love the shoegazing and electricity inside) much love from FRANCE , xoxo,Ww
