After giving a glimpse of their song 'Turn Up The Volumes' earlier this month, Montreal-based duo Thus Owl now share the title track to their forthcoming EP 'Black Matter'. Dark and rowling, the track screams out with haunting guitar riffs, with the band adding a bit of noise in the mix which hits you like a punch to the jaw.
Upon first listening to Montreal group Thus Owl's new single 'Turn Up The Volumes', you're quickly caught in the clutches of what sounds more like an epic, cinematic journey than simply an alternative recording. From the jump, scattering synths lash around you, as the vocals Erika Angell are accompanied by haunting strings and a thumping bass line. Thus Owls have surely figured out the idea of knowing when to scale back for space and slowly filling the surroundings with sounds that completely keeps you wondering what's about to happen next. Astonishingly arranged, 'Turn Up The Volumes' is the lead single taken from their forthcoming EP 'Black Matter', out November 6th on Secret City Records.
