As anyone who reads this blog with any regularity will know, Howling Owls are one of our favourite discoveries of 2010.

They take menacing, insistent, under-stated indie/folk matched with some of the best lyrical wordplay we’ve heard in a long while. The songs pick away at the edges of domestic strife and family troubles, gleefully revealing a queasy, black-hearted underbelly that remind us of those moments in horror films when victims feel compelled to open the door even though they know something terrible awaits on the other side, and have their very worst fears (and more) confirmed.

And so it is with our latest offering from the band. With a title like My Kinda Luck, you can imagine where these folk are concerned, it isn’t going to be good.
