NOW OWL

About:

Now Owl is the solo recording project of artist and member of Nous Vous Collective, William Edmonds (Vest For Tysso). Experiments with bedroom recording, borrowed instruments and reverb and delay. Live he is occasionally backed up Nicolas Burrows (Glaciers).


Kind words:

"William Edmonds of Now Owl may not exactly write pop songs per se, but in his use of texture, tone and pace he has a real knack for bringing ingenuity and interest to his music. He manages to hold your attention better than a hell of a lot of people making this kind of stuff and he does it, I think, by varying the level of urgency with the tracks he layers. Something low and moany is frequently joined by something skittish and nervous and, without changing what was there before, it twists what you think you’re listening to into something else all of a sudden, and these shifts of perception make this music really engaging."
