Wake Owl create a beautiful style of indie folk. The Vancouver band’s ep is on my list for favourites for the year and a dark horse for my top 10. I had a chance to meet the boys and see them at Rifflandia V. Truthful moment… the live show at the Vic Event Center did not impress me. I think they suffered from my high expectations and maybe playing a “bigger” show than their skill set at the time. I was listening to their ep Wild Country HEAVY leading up to the show. I am not letting one good, but not great, show spoil the fun…. Wake Owl return to Victoria on December 14th for the Jon & Roy Holiday Special… this time at the beautiful Alix Goolden.
Wake Owl has also generated two spoonfuls of buzz after their song “Gold” was featured on last week’s Grey’s Anatomy.
“Gold” is a wonderous song….like the whole ep. If this is your first chance checking out Wake Owl or you have heard/ read some buzz and like what you hear, it gets better on the ep. Check out “Wild Country” or “Seaside.”
