biographical info

Originally started as a bedroom recording project between Vanessa Murnaghan and Matthew Macdonald (The Superfantastics) in August 2008, Owl quickly made their way onto internet music blogs, into rotation at indie dance nights, and onto the stage.


The duo’s debut album, Chants (The Vibrations in the Streets Keep Me Weak in the Knees), is a seven-song EP that combines equal parts MGMT and The Postal Service with Macdonald’s own electronic arrangements and Murnaghan’s warm melodies and laid back delivery.


Subtle, eclectic and earnest, The Coast has heralded Owl’s songs for featuring “a quiet underbelly of synth and threads of guitar, while Murnaghan’s low, sweet voice sings about friends and lovers.”

First of all, a little update.
We have started playing shows, and are really excited to be playing and to be making more songs. We hope to release a full length in the fall and promote with a tour of eastern canada!

We have been getting shown a lot of support from lots of strangers, friends and family. Even by people on the net!
