Reviews of Low Flying Owls [12k1099]

Even more to the point, though, is that Low Flying Owls feels like the closest an ambient album has yet come to a jam band.

While a long-time fan of the label might feel right at home on the first two tracks, something changes in a profound way with the unexpected advent of Marcus Fischer’s drums almost five minutes into the third track “Know”.

The richness of this septet could have let fear an instrumental debauchery, unbridled and grandiloquent, but we are on 12k, among people of good company…

What strikes me about Low Flying Owls is its fullness—of color, texture, and feeling. If this is minimalism, it’s the fathomless simplicity of the sky at daybreak.

Low Flying Owls invites the listener to be encompassed by its fragile yet peaceful and optimistic sounds and colors, with its inspiring depths and imperfections.

Ethereal and full-of-life textures.

Here each artist finds his place most naturally in the world, a fusion of various sensations serving the same purpose. Magic.

… as delicate as it is restless, the breadth of instrumentation and influences comes to life across the sonic space and printed page…

An impressionistic melange of sounds that breaks up numerous genre concepts.
