about

Third Nightowl Sings album of lo-fi, DIY alt. rock, weirdness and pop. Made at home.

"Months in production, the third Nightowl Sings release started out as a death obsessed 5 track E.P. to a 20 track strung out odyssey to the 9 track album we have here. Compiled from dozens of songs recorded in the latter half of 2011 the album starts with the slight red herring of ‘Green Eyes’. The melodic organ intro is the only time this release harkens back to the pretty song or folk music of previous records. The remainder goes straight for the scuzz guitar jugular. Songs like ‘Tall Dark Pines’ and ‘Loner Stoner Drones’ tease the listener in with near traditional structure (albeit lo-fi, oddly mixed tradition) before making the curious curse themselves as they end up lost in outros designed to spook and sadden. Spookier still is the album’s closer ‘Bright Yellow Sun’. Some plans have failed, the singer turns to his love to make it alright but from what? ‘Let Me Sleep (In your Flower Bed)’ at first may sound like the slightest song here but it conceals the blueprint for this release and, perhaps, this artist’s manifesto. Dissonant noise combined with playful melody. ‘O My Soul’ may stomp along knee deep in reverb drenched distortion but it’s the chorus melody you remember. What feels like the album’s most hard hitting moment is ‘In My Heart (The Snow Is Falling)’. Here, a broken heart feels like the apocalypse as the singer lets his pain pour out and flood the world, guitar noise burning cities, drums levelling man’s concrete folly. Heavy shit." - Stephen Benson.
