Mezzanine Owls

Some bands smack you over the head. Others make you move. Others create huge walls of beautiful noise. And then others just lull you smoothly away.

As was said of The Cramps (for very different reasons), Mezzanine Owls don't pummel, they ooze. These songs are not huge masterpieces, but they are well-written slices of classic shoegaze-lite indie. As much as I don't feel necessarily passionate about them, I do find myself listening on a daily basis lately. And I'm putting them #2 (after The Wombats!) on my SXSW wish-list. Enjoy.

Mezzanine Owls : "Moving Ground".
Mezzanine Owls : "Coyote".
Mezzanine Owls : "Counting Backwards".
Mezzanine Owls : "Lightbulb" (originally offered up here and completely classic).
