Montaña Y Caballo by Yarn Owl Album Haiku Review

By Andrea Williams

Album Haiku: Montaña Y Caballo by Yarn Owl

Soft feathered reverb.

Sweet honeybee harmonies.

Alluring, smooth, tunes.

5 out of 5

Songs we can’t take off repeat: “Seashell Wind chime,” “Embrace Our Place (Montaña Y Caballo),” “Go,” and “Dark Air.”

To me Yarn Owl is whimsical Pullman, Washington wheat field indie pop rock that is sure to please birds of a different feather. Every single time I see them in concert I re-fall in love with their music and I have yet to find a friend of mine who dislikes their tunes. Owls are mostly nocturnal birds that fly alone but this music compliments the sunshine and friends perfectly. The album is clean and the vocals are dainty, the album has a huge pop feel but it still sounds current. I am impressed so much with the songs and like I mentioned above I can’t get enough of this band they are complete gems. Gems that come to town quite often, so I am sure you’ll have a chance to watch them live soon. This is the bands first full length album which makes this even more exciting, I can only expect more great things to come from these Pullman Owls of yarn, known as Yarn Owl.

Don’t forget you can purchase the album and stream the full album HERE.
