I didn't post at all on FensePost last week. That's crazy. I had been on a roll, pumping out posts on a daily basis, then I hit a wall and needed an immediate break. But my breaks are typically filled with, well, something else. They're aren't true breaks , in the informal-synonym-for-vacation sense of the word. That's right, it was pledge week at KSVR and KSVU. Being pledge week, I came in Wednesday night and sat in on Jackson Stewart's Blue Boulevard and we [...]
Man, what a wild week. And I'm not talking about the wild you indie folk are used to, likely boozing it up and partying every night. I'm talking about the working life, the stress of the job, the busy days and exhaustion-laden nights. Going to bed at 9:30; I feel old. So on Fridays, I look forward to cutting loose. I needed something epic this week. Something loud, raucous, and rambunctious. And I found it in this playlist. At the studio, 10 pm, the lights are dim [...]
I've been thinking about how I am going to write this review and honestly I am not sure. I don't think anyone really knew what they were in for with Breathe Owl Breathe, especially after the local more mellow coffee shop kind of act and I don't mean that in a bad way because he was very good. Breathe Owl Breathe is a very unique band with a unique sound, which can be described as folk music, but at times is often more pop like and at [...]
Sleigh Bells at Sasquatch! 2011 / photo by Alex Crick A nice extended weekend (President's Day), usually leads to a good week of shows. This week starts with Grimes at the Sunset Tavern on Monday night (sold out, sorry!). On Tuesday, Veronica Falls, Bleached , and Seapony are at the Tractor, and Damien Jurado plays a free in-store set at Sonic Boom Records in Ballard. Wednesday night, the extremely talented Cate Le Bon and Charles Leo Gebhardt are at the Crocodile, and Chuck Prophet and the [...]
"In the days when winter was for sledding, summer was for swimming, bedtime was for stories and sleeping was for dreaming" is where you will find Breathe Owl Breathe. Originating from Northern Michigan, Breathe Owl Breathe is Micah Middaugh, Trevor Hobbs, and Andrea Moreno-Beals. Their music can be described as "contemporary folk, eschewing freakiness in favor of charm," which can be heard throughout their latest effort "Magic Central." [...]
I caught up with Micah, Andrea and Trevor from Ann Arbor, Michigan's Breathe Owl Breathe before their set at San Francisco's Bottom of the Hill. Their live show is upbeat and whimsical. In fact, I'd venture as far as to say I'd never seen a band appear to have so much fun on stage (The Decemberists probably come in a close 2nd though). Whether Micah was performing barrel rolls, play acting as if he were swimming, or creating giraffe hand puppets to accompany a song's lyrics; it was often enough to elicit uncontrollable giggling and knowing, [...]
Breathe Owl Breathe 's latest release is a 7" held between the pages of a children's story book . The book is split up into two stories, one for night and one for day , each flowing seamlessly into the next. This is the world of the Michigan trio. An innocently fantastical planet made up of dragon/princess pen-pals, swim lessons, and werewolves, that continue their existence unbeknownst to any sort of reality outside. Last Wednesday the band invited fans into their fantasy landscape during a loveably kooky set at The Echo. The band created an endearingly casual atmosphere, dressed as if [...]
The light persistent rain couldn't keep San Francisco's damp masses from huddling together for a night of varied folksters at Bottom of the Hill on February 6th. The evening starter, Oakland's very own singer/songwriter Morgan Manifacier , was accompanied by a celloist. Both were seated, but that did not stop an enthusiastic crowd from gobbling them up. I do suspect a few ringer audience members were in attendance, as the activity near the front of the stage threatened to shake free a couple of ceiling tiles. Manifacier's sound is reminiscent of everyone's favorite [...]
Photos by Philip Cosores It's kind of strange going to see a couple of folk acts in a space like The Echo. The room is everything you'd want in rock'n'roll venue; dark, grimy, and loud, which is not exactly what you want when you're going to see bright, clean, and relaxed music. The challenge for the acts then becomes to use their music to make the audience forget their surroundings and transport them somewhere else. On this occasion Breathe Owl Breathe and Laura Gibson both gave it their best shot, to varying levels of success. [...]

It seems the only way to break out creatively in this over-saturated music scene is to branch out and expand past a simple recorded album paired with a tour. Enter Breathe Owl Breathe ; who is currently touring with Laura Gibson in support of their combination children's book and vinyl 73, The Listeners/These Train Tracks . Their 2010 full-length Magic Central reached a kind of fruition on a modest scale and really only displayed a fraction of the creative prowess of Micah Middaugh (guitar, vocals), Andréa Moreno-Beals (cello, vocals) and Trevor Hobbs (percussion).

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Book Club , New Music , New Releases Patrick Lelli Michigan-based troubadours Breathe Owl Breathe aren't your average three-piece folk band. By pulling together elements of children's literature and onstage experimentalism, the band creates a live storybook filled with anthropomorphic characters that value friendship above all. Spinner recently caught up with bearded frontman Micah Middaugh to talk about the band's newest foray into [...]
Breathe Owl Breathe are a Michigan based art-folk trio who have just released a new 7" and Children's Book called The Listeners/These Train Tracks . Out today on the RAD label, musician and artist Micah Middaugh wrote and created each block printed page and cover of the limited-edition book consisting of two stories, one which describes a tale of an underground meeting between two outsiders, an Ostrich and a Mole. This beautifully hand-crafted 7" and book combo makes for the perfect holiday gift for the music-loving kid or adult on your list... [...]
I am becoming more and more confident in talking on the radio. I am slowly developing my voice - my on-air personality. There is still room for improvement; namely in the transition from Stuarto's show to mine, but I'll get there eventually. Last Friday's show was centered around indie-folk again, with plenty of psychedelic folk, orchestral folk, and folk-pop as well. As started last week, two songs will be featured at bottom. "Notorious Lightning" by Destroyer off Your Blues "Shanty for the Arethusa" [...]
On December 6th, Breathe Owl Breathe will be releasing a 7" for the singles "The Listeners" and "These Train Tracks," along with a children's book that was written, illustrated, carved, and printed by BOB's Micah Middaugh . Because each canvas-covered volume is being handcrafted and assembled by the band, the release will be limited to 750 copies. Pre-orders are currently available here . While the lyrics of both of the singles follow the words/story in the childrens book, the sound of the two tracks are completely different. "The Listeners" features [...]
Breathe Owl Breathe - The Listeners A playful vibe, and a child jump in on Breathe Owl Breathe's new one, "The Listeners." Its this playful curiosity to their music that drew me in on this one. This one actually feels like it could be a Noah and the Whale track. Whats really interesting is the 7 inch this comes from goes along with a brand new childrens book titled "The Listeners / These Train Tracks" due out this December. The storytelling nature of the music goes along quite well and is a great concept. [...]
Breathe Owl Breathe - The Listeners (The Mole & The Ostrich) Since having a baby, I've been pondering the idea of playing my daughter 'children's music'. What is it that separates music for children from music for adults? Most of what I've heard so far sounds like nails-on-chalkboard, which, I'm sorry, Papa is NOT going to drive three hours in the car listening to that crap. I'm pretty sure she's gonna be fine with chillwave and freak folk, no? Luckily for me, there are happy mediums where some of my favorite indie artists are thinking [...]
