Barn Owl - From Our Mouths a Perpetual Light

It's been quite a whirlwind ride for Barn Owl since they made their debut on Foxglove a few years ago. In such a short time period they've emerged as one of the premier bands on the West Coast. This duo of Evan Caminiti and Jon Porras are as good as it gets and this is their opus. Originally released on vinyl by the good folks at Not Not Fun, "From Our Mouths a Perpetual Light" is an epic offering to the sun gods.

This San Francisco-based duo have crafted something impeccable here full of spectral blues and subterranean drones that rival anything else happening today. Epic doom-tinged guitars explode like a phoenix impaling itself on a nuclear missile bathing everything in glorious, gluttonous black. The album's title envisages the greatness that is to come. Nothing is spared as they rain liquid hellfire down onto the scorched desert. From their mouths a perpetual light indeed. It will suck you in, fill your bones with diamonds, and paint you in titanium chrome. There is nowhere to hide from these menacing sounds, but even if you could, why the fuck would you want to?
