Originally starting as a bedroom recording project between couple Vanessa Murnaghan and Matthew Macdonald in August 2008, Owl quickly made their way across internet music blogs, into rotation at indie dance nights, and onto the stage.
With Matthew's electronic arrangements that evoke equal amounts of MGMT and The Postal Service, combined with Vanessa's warm melodies and laid back delivery, Owl will make you want to cuddle in a warm blanket with some hot chocolate.
Owl will make you want to dance in the middle of the street with your best friend during an Atlantic Canadian snowstorm.
Owl will make you want to throw a surprise party for a complete stranger.
Owl will make you want to bake a batch of cookies, but then eat all of the dough before the oven is heated to the proper temperature.
Owl will then tuck you in to bed because your tummy hurts, and apologize for the cookie dough incident.
One cut's hair by day, the other plays in a little band known as the superfantastics.
"OWL's songs feature a quiet underbelly of synth and threads of guitar, while Murnaghan's low, sweet voice sings about friends and lovers."- alison lang, The Coast
