Beatowls
From a warehouse by the river, Beatowls’ exquisite, meticulously built and finely fractured sound guides an introspective and thought-provoking sonic journey through ‘Marma’, the Liverpool collective’s captivating debut album.
New!
Beatowls' music melds scratched percussion, dewdrop melodies, and a sense of haunting beauty, caught between dreams and reality, and industry and nature.
This band's journey begins with a shared passion, travels through this collection of songs, and reaches towards a future filled with creative exploration.
Their sound, inspired by the urban-industrial mood of the city, weaves evocative, cinematic tones into their compositions—a meticulous pursuit of fractured perfection.
Beatowls’ music reflects influences from Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland’s DIY ethos, distorts The XX’s millennial longing with Portishead’s sinister vibes, and combines Nancy & Lee’s trippy idealism with the skewed romanticism of Badalamenti and Lynch, and the sounds of Broadcast and Warp Records.
Their album 'Marma' earned accolades for its atmospheric soundscapes and evocative lyricism. Critics commend Beatowls for their unique genre fusion and their capacity to create emotionally charged, resonant sounds.
The band continually challenges themselves, reflecting both the hustle and busyness of Liverpool’s industrial backdrop and the introspective serenity of life.
