Not the Cap'n Jazz offshoot

"This is not the Cap'n Jazz off shoot band Owls this is The Owls! Hailing from Minneapolis and quietly blowing your mind. Great pop with the sounds of mellower Velvet Underground, the female voices of Stereolab and a few of the Beatles thrown in."

Incredible Pop!

"It starts with "Air", probably one of the best break-up songs ever, and never lets up. Every song is catchy, memorable and infinitely hummable. The different vocalists (and songwriters) could lead to a disjointed mess but everything seems to flow smoothly into pop heaven. Slightly melancholy and blissful and beautiful to behold. Ends with the best McCartney song you've never heard, "Even Now". Built with acoustic guitars, pianos, strings, and harmonies and like the perfect pop song, this CD is a little too short, leaving you with a longing for a little bit more."
