Michigan indie folk trio Breathe Owl Breathe follow-up their stellar 2010 release Magic Central with their equally fantastic sixth album, Passage of Pegasus. The latest LP features the band’s trademark expansive pastoral sound this time with more hazy melodies, breathtaking harmonies, impassioned lyricism, and just the right amount of experimentation. Standout tracks include: the single “Silent Movie Reel”, the electro-tinged character study “Explorer”, and the ethereal “Two Moths.” Longtime fans will be very satisfied with this release, and new listeners will be delighted to discover Breathe Owl Breathe. For those who purchase the physical album, each cover is a unique piece of art, individually numbered and pressed with handset type by Micah Middaugh. – Written by JFelton
