Thus Owls are a transatlantic band comprised of husband and wife duo Erika and Simon Angell. The group originated in Sweden as an outlet for Erika’s songs. She met Simon by chance while the two were touring in Europe as part of different bands that were paired on the same bill. Erika recalls that she “fell in love with Simon’s sound right away,” citing the “harshness and the sweetness combined” of his guitar, as well as his experimental approach to music. It wasn’t long before they were married, and making music together as Thus Owls. They signed to Montreal’s Secret City Records in late 2013 and their new album, Turning Rocks will be released on April 8th.
