It can’t have escaped your attention that Chicago’s Owls not only regrouped a couple of years back, but just the other month released a long-overdue second LP, titled simply ‘Two’. And if you did miss that memo, go catch up.
Now, the Tim Kinsella-fronted foursome – hugely influential, with their sound kissing the pleasure sensors of untold indie-cum-emo acts to have emerged in their late-’00s wake – are bringing the songs of ‘Two’ (and, presumably, some tracks from their eponymous 2001 LP, too) to the UK for a series of live performances. Add ‘em up, you’ve got yourself a tour. The band’s first ever one, indeed, on these ‘ere British shores.
