Praise for 'Into the Fold':
"eagleowl create a lush and engaging sound that, whilst down-tuned, is never dreary. ...Another nuanced, rewarding release which reveals more dimensions to its character with each return."
**** - Jason Morton, the Skinny
"a haunting slice of Low-style slowcore, boy/girl vocals entwining around atmospheric folky strains to sumptuous effect."
**** - Doug Johnstone, The List
"It’s simultaneously simple, yet heartbreaking, so straightforward and yet utterly complex. Every single one of these tracks is outstanding in its’ own right. eagleowl have upped their game, and if I run the risk of sounding sychophantic, so bloody well be it."
***** - Ed Jupp, 17 Seconds
"Wonderfully atmospheric bit of folk... from some very charming Scots."
Wendy Roby, Drowned in Sound
"'Into the Fold' is undeniably beautiful, delicate and yet it packs a punch (albeit a slow one, a John Woo punch) straight to the heart and ears of any listener. Their best yet."
Ian Greenhill, the Line of Best Fit
Sleep the Winter
Kilter | December 2009
Seasonal 7" single - strictly limited to 500 copies. Each one is individually wrapped and hand stamped.
Sleep the Winter is also available to buy from Avalanche and Elvis Shakespeare in Edinburgh, and Monorail in Glasgow. "Eagleowl’s aptitude for meticulously delicate, dewy-eyed alt-folk will be no secret to anyone with a copy of For the Thoughts You Never Had in their collection, yet Sleep the Winter’s gentle strings and appropriately chilly, under-the-breath vocals still manage to constitute an eye-opening step forward. ...Both understatedly subtle yet monumentally affecting." "eagleowl have recorded an exquisite song that’s far more than the sum of its parts ... a very special band in a league of their own." "An excellent piece of work" "Delicious bit of lo-fi post folk what comes charmingly wrapped in hand-made loveliness." Fife Kills: Records | August 2008 Our debut EP was released in a strictly limited edition CD with screen printed hand folded card sleeve. All physical copies have now sold out, but the EP is available to download from Bandcamp. "Manages to perfectly capture what has made them such an appealing live prospect. Gentle harmonies and groaning strings combine to create a set of atmospheric slow burners in which every note and nuance sounds completely deliberate and considered." "a wonderfully atmospheric piece of slowcore post-folk, reminiscent at times of Low, with a dash of Scottish sea shanty thrown in here, a soupcon of Adem’s organic melancholy there, all of it positively oozing home-grown, home-cooked goodness." Their slow-burning, fragile folk refuses to betray youthful energy, instead moving with care to preserve the peace behind each song. Most impressively, eagleowl know exactly how to construct a collection of songs that flows from first second to last. "gorgeously quavering folk harmonies"Order the single from Bandcamp
