All Music
The Owls' first full-length album is a giant step beyond their debut EP.... It takes them out of the world of workaday indie pop and into a more sophisticated world of bands like Camera Obscura, Young and Sexy, and Belle & Sebastian who add a large helping of drama and soul to their sound....When they blend together in different formations, it can raise goose bumps and warm hearts. Daughters and Suns is a real coming out party for the Owls, the record could steal some hearts .... (more)

Pitchfork
"Minneapolis four-piece the Owls had one of the dreamiest indie-pop songs of 2004 in "Air", from debut "mini LP" Our Hopes and Dreams. "Peppermint Patty", from follow-up Daughters and Suns, shows the band continuing to delight in the softer side of the Velvet Underground (particularly Loaded's "Who Loves the Sun"), with their lush boy-girl harmonies, acoustic guitars, and plinking piano. It's a tender, nuanced song about a Belle and Sebastian-worthy protagonist...

Hello The Owls,

Okay, so maybe you didn't invent "Yacht Rock" but I think after the Art-A-Whirl experience in May, I think you have made a
pretty darned good case for inventing "Pontoon Rock!"

Take Care,

David

p.s.
thanks again for the couch, I love falling asleep on it whilst watching The Vikings lose!

Great show at Mill City! It was certainly worth biking in the rain. I am glad that you are selling "Our Hopes and Dreams" again as I just sent off my copy to a beautiful French woman!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

"Channel" was fully a contender for my favorite song of last year. It just popped up on my iTunes and was very refreshing...

How was the reception in Manchester? I'm a few hundred miles away for university now, and one of the biggest things I miss about home, other than friends and family, is the music scene. Nothing is quite like it.

I hope you're all doing well! X
