Taos Humm - 'OXT'. Taken from Howling Owl Records 'Sink' compilation.

For the third year running we are releasing a 12" compilation featuring four acts, though this year it's a bit of a curveball in terms of the line up. REI (Vessel), OLO Worms, Taos Humm and Giant Swan makes an eclectic mix. 

In what has been a year of progression and evolution for Howling Owl, it makes sense for this record to be so diverse. Featuring the first vinyl appearances of Taos Humm's melancholy-pysch and Giant Swan's claustrophobic drone, alongside a welcome return to the unpredictable world of OLO Worms and an exclusive track from one of Vessel's aliases REI; this is a special record that ebbs and flows and fills.

We like to make our records mean something, and this is a compilation that encapsulates where we are at right now in terms of music and meaning.

Come sink with us.

Taos Humm - OXT

First taste of our latest signing Something Anorak's debut album coming out late 2014.

Produced and mastered by Hugo Bishop and Oliver Wilde and out on Howling Owl Records.

Something Anorak - I Am A Doctor

SPACE JAM LIVE for BOX - E B U and Tara Clerkin

For this release, that coincidentally came out on  Record Store Day 2016, I spent about 3 months downloading as many of the thousands of songs released on Record Store Day 2015. I think I managed to find about 85% of them and it almost killed me. I may as well have stabbed myself in the ears and eyes with a spike of frozen shit.

I then made 'slabs' of noise by layering about 100 songs at a time on top of each other on Garage Band, creating 100 or so of these 4-5 minute slabs of dirge before sending them to Harry Wright (Naturals/Giant Swan) to try and make a song out of them all. 

Predictably, he came back with something really excellent, and then I probably went and ruined it by using the Cut Up Technique, going through all of the names of the releases and cutting words at random, forming them into some kind of gibberish that I whispered over the track.

Whoever bought the 7" also received our full back catalogue.

Thought I'd put it up today as it is the final day of our 5th Birthday Week, and seems like a good time to let people know just how stupid we (well, me) really are.

"This is pretty representative of what I play, minus the drone. I am getting a lot of fun out of the amalgamation of broken beat and 4 to the floor work as I have always drifted unknowingly between the two - this mix I guess is an audible representation of my unwillingness to focus on one or the other."

"Thank you to Patterns, Brighton for letting me record this in the club, and thanks to the wandering bar staff walking through the room at various points." - Metrist
