Howling Owl’s latest release – Giant Swan

By Laura Williams  Monday Jan 26, 2015

After spending the past two years shaking every dancefloor/ police cell/art gallery/court room/toilet venue they have landed in, Giant Swan have finally been pinned down for a moment.

“Recorded live and sweaty, this is the first time we have been able to pin them down to try and capture their live intensity onto record and what a result.” said a spokesman for Howling Owl.

Giant Swant, aka Robin Stewart and Harry Wright are a shape shifting, embryonic force and release their debut EP on February 16. The three-track offering is a blend of hypnotic drone, industrial hammering and disorientating noise.
