Dublin, Ireland trio Autumn Owls are set to release their debut full-?‐ length album, Between Buildings, Toward The Sea, on Webby Award-?‐winning Epitonic.com's newly formed label. Gary McFarlane (vocals/guitar), Adam Browne (bass) and Will PurHll (drums) headed to Chicago this spring to record the album with Brian Deck (Modest Mouse/Iron & Wine). They then returned home to mxi the album with longHme collaborator Ciaran Bradshaw. Deck and Bradshaw captured perfectly the band's deep, rich textures and emoHonal depth, no more apparent then on first the single from the record, "Great AtlanHc DriQ". Opening track, "Semaphores" opens in a haunHng whisper, before unfolding and engulfing the listener. That feeling of being engulfed runs throughout the record, someHmes soothing, oQen menacing, always thrilling. Autumn Owls released two EPs prior, garnering excellent reviews in Ireland and the UK, enjoying steady airplay from 2FM, Today FM, Phantom FM and the BBC. They have toured extensively supporHng such arHsts as DeVotchKa, Real Estate, Micah P Hinson and Early Day Miners, as well as playing their own headlining shows. In North America they have performed at such events as SXSW, CMJ, NXNE and CMW. Tour plans are in the works. FILTER Magazine -?‐ "'Great AtlanHc DriQ' explores a sonic atmosphere so filled with pathos you can't help but to close your eyes." Dan Hegarty, Radio Host, 2FM (Dublin) -?‐ "Between Buildings, Toward The Sea is fantasHc. You can hear echoes of The NaHonal, Unforgebable Fire-?‐era U2, and Grant Lee Buffalo." Alan Cross -?‐ "'Great AtlanHc DriQ' is as atmospheric as it is powerfully immersive -?‐ it starts with a quiet whisper and then opens it mouth up wide, to swallow the listener up."
