Thousand Owl [ = , Fire Talk]

I covered Unsa Oonm a couple months ago when I first learned that they were gonna have a cassette released on Fire Talk Records. The cassette is now available but the band has undergone a name change. The band is now known as Thousand Owl, but the album's name is still the same, = . No word yet on a tour but hopefully soon in support of the new cassette.

Unsa Oonm [ = , Fire Talk]

Unsa Oonm is a band out of Denver with a very experimental sound. Seeing that they had a cassette coming out on Fire Talk in May, I thought I'd check them out. There is definitely a sense of mysticism and wonder with the music; it puts you into deep thought and flexes the imagination. A majority of the songs are instrumental with vocals used as either chants or to create effects. But listening to the tracks on the band's Myspace page, there is a lot of variation between them, each song taking on a form of its own.
