Biography

Autumn Owls formed in 2007, releasing two EPs in 2008 to critical acclaim. This saw the band support acts such as Real Estate, Twilight Sad and Devotchka while also headlining shows across Europe and North America. This led to a deal with Chicago-based label Epitonic and the release of the debut album, Between Buildings Toward The Sea. The record was recorded in Chicago with renowned producer, Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Califone, Iron & Wine). The band then took to the road for an extensive North American tour, touring with acts such as Why? and LOW. Autumn Owls released new music in 2018 when legendary DJ, producer and record label owner, James Lavelle, discovered unreleased Autumn Owls demos. Lavelle called on collaborator, Cameron Craig (UNKLE, Bjork, Pulp) to work on what would become the second album, Poverty and Ambition. After many years overseas, Autumn Owls returned to Insomnia Lodge—a converted recording space in Dublin— to record, Three Winters in the Capital, the first Autumn Owls album in three years.
