A Place For Owls


A Place For Owls are a five-piece emo/indie band from Denver, Colorado that formed in 2018. Following two EP's, their debut full-length came out in August of this year. Sonically, the band utilizes atmospheric, distorted and melancholic chord washes and reverb-laden guitar leads and solemn piano plucks. On top of that, there is some amazing bass work in its subtle melody, an earnest vocal delivery, and some very strong songwriting. Highlights include the folk-tinged "Smoke Monster", the gang-vocal crescendo in "Deliberate Practice" and the impossible question presented in "Do I Feel At Home Here". If you're a fan of bands such as Death Cab For Cutie, Manchester Orchestra, Jimmy Eat World, or Pedro The Lion, or the sad but melodic side of emo, this is an album you're not going to want to miss. Enjoy.
