Barn Owl's "The Long Shadow" has kind of the perfect horror soundtrack build-up. It starts with an irresolute tug and pull between a cathedralesque wash of choir voices and a sinister, chromatic guitar melody, then ... read more

Barn Owl - Void Redux from Thrill Jockey Records on Vimeo . Atmospheric electronic duo Barn Owl brings out a new sprawling track with a unique video to back it. The song shows the mood and ice cold electronics that Barn Owl is capable of and stretches it out into a song that forces your mind adrift.
