Jon Porras (one half of the minimalist guitar drone duo Barn Owl ) will drop his newest solo album and Thrill Jockey debut Black Mesa on April 17. Recorded at home and in his practice space, the LP promises plenty more of the dark, atmospheric guitar and ambient drone Barn Owl uses to great effect. According to the press release, the seven track new album was "inspired by the hazy Americana of Sandy Bull, Popol Vuh and Neil Young, [as] Black Mesa endeavors to explore the depths of drone and [...]
Tweet So, it's the end of 2011, and everyone are making lists right? So I made one. The order is random and is not important, I love them all. Well, I love Glenn's even more. Of course there were couple ... Continue reading
L'amphi du Café de la Danse était un poil dégarni pour l'AG des Barn Owl . Faisant fi de la consistance de l'auditoire, Jon Porras et Evan Caminiti ont performé leur drone bardé d'effets homériques sans lâcher du regard les derniers rangs inoccupés ; une façon de projeter plus loin un spectre sonore déjouant épisodiquement les fonctionnalités du limiteur de décibels de la salle. Si on regrette parfois cette impression de « déjà entendu » des thèmes mélo (quelque part entre Gregor Samsa ou Mono époque You Are There et des sonorités plus arides à la Grails), [...]
auf domino records erschien erst jüngst, am 18. oktober, um genau zu sein, das neue album "days", den track "it's real" haben real estate nun in szene gesetzt, damit wir zu wort und ton auch ein paar bilder bewundern dürfen, "oder ist da mehr?": sein neues album "hall music" ist seit dem 04. oktober am start ( polyvinyl records ), für die 'le hiboo' sessions spielte er ein kleines minikonzert ein, geplant waren nur ein, zwei songs, der zauber nahm sich seiner an: [...]

Kongfuzi nous avait déjà fait saliver il y a quelques mois en proposant une date regroupant pour la première fois en France Barn Owl et Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. Le groupe de Jon Porras et Evan Caminati revient nous présenter son nouvel album, Lost in the Glare , leur deuxième chez Thrill Jockey, en compagnie de Lori Schönberg (de Berg sans Nipple) et Evangelista (Constellation Records) ; deux premières parties réelles valeurs ajoutées. Pour l'occasion Hartzine et Kongfuzi vous font gagner deux places pour ce concert qui se déroulera le 17 novembre prochain au Café de la Danse. Envoyez-nous [...]
The Bold Italic linked recently to these videos of Barn Owl and Date Palms performing at the TBI/ San Francisco Zen Center event, "Meditations on San Francisco." The clips, shot by Christopher Musgrave , are both really great. The Date Palms one adds a hallucinatory visual layer to the mix, but both videos offer some ear-pleasing drones. Barn Owl is currently touring Europe - see all of their upcoming shows here . [...]
The dark and dreamy Barn Owl just issued new album Lost In The Glare via Thrill Jockey. The LP incorporates the sound of a Farfisa organ into the band’s ambient sound, replacing the harmonium used on earlier recordings. Barn Owl has also released a video for "Turiya," the second track off Lost. The clip is as trancelike [...]

We are thrilled to premiere this brand new track from Boise-based electro-explorers Atomic Mama , a duo that is straight wild. Just before making their current rounds on the West Coast, the two handcrafted their very own school-bus-turned-tour-bus and took off to blow minds with their elusive, gritty dance music. Their latest single "Bodies in the Sun" is a journey of warped synthesizers and organic vocals (as if Yeasayer and the Black Keys had a child and named it this beast of a song). The musical pairings of dance and the dirty blues seem to work really well [...]

Mais do que "fazer uma cena drone" ou tocar uns sininhos, os Barn Owl preocupam-se em fazer discos de guitarrada como poucos fazem. Com todos os benefícios e percalços da juventude do rock, mostram de certeza estar a querer alcançar uma Agartha que não é para ouvidos distraídos. A priori, os Barn Owl seguem o perfil de uma banda com cinco anos existência: com catálogo auto-editado, bramido na Not Not Fun e na Digitalis, reavaliado na Root Strata, e recentemente engavetado na identidade que a Thrill Jockey assumiu nesta nova década. Depois disso, os Barn [...]
The San Francisco Zen Center isn't a place I'd normally expect to see a rock show, but the Center's upcoming "Meditations on San Francisco" event on October 8th (6pm, $12), co-presented with The Bold Italic , is set to feature performances by local drone-rockers Barn Owl , Date Palms , and Danny Paul Grody . Visual artist David Wilson will also be in attendance, showcasing "an interactive installation, which will allow guests to engage in a creative group activity, forming [...]

Пробираясь через барнаульские леса в видео от Джона Дэвиса, вы вряд ли увидите что-нибудь кроме монохромных пейзажей, сорняков и неубедительного света солнца. Новый альбом Barn Owl – это место, в котором часто ассоциирующаяся с Туарегами рок-музыка пустынь сталкивается с дроном, спокойствием и напряжением открытого космоса . Медитативный и по-своему солнечный альбом «Lost in the Glare» уже вышел на Thrill Jockey .
This is one of the best weeks for new album releases in a while - the list of bands with fresh drops reads like a line-up for Coachella. With at least a dozen popular artists like The Drums, The Kooks, Grouplove, Blitzer Trapper, Neon Indian, Girls, Mates of State, St. Vincent, Robbers on High Street, [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Barn Owl - Lost In The Glare By Antonio Tzikas Having reviewed and thoroughly enjoyed the last offering from San Fran droners Barn Owl , entitled Ancestral Star , it is with much excitement I pressed play for the first time on their latest offering Lost In The Glare . Whilst essentially the same mix of tone, rich and swirling guitar based soundscapes and introspective, sparse and spacey pieces as earlier Barn Owl records, the mood on Lost In The Glare seems lighter than that [...]
