"A superlative example of how the youngest generation of up and coming musicians is perfecting a conglomerate sound that will transform rock genre musics in ways both familiar and engagingly odd. Robbers toss in a number of unusual factors, from strange spoken satirical rants to electronica to pop to folk, in a highly progressive mode impossible to nail down... a very wide cosmos of influences have resulted in a mega-smooth spacey sound that marries mainlined mellifluous vocals to vaulting arrangements layered in an encyclopedia of sound techniques... ..... I can only hope that efforts like this quickly succeed and usher in a new day no one's quite expecting. In a sea of radio moribundity, this is badly needed, might even help spark a rebirth of what occurred in the 70s.".. ..-Mark S. Tucker, acousticmusic.com

One Big Owl is an indie/folk rock band from Nashville, TN. Formed in 2008 as an extension of Mark Bullock’s songwriting talent upon his relocation from Ruston, LA, the band consists of Chandler Kellogg on bass, Daniel Johnson on lead guitar, Chris Hauser on drums, Kyle McCormick on tenor saxophone and keys, and Sephra Osburn on backing vocals. Drawing inspiration from pysch folk in the vein of Neutral Milk Hotel and a number of other baroque pop practitioners, One Big Owl has crafted a sound that rests delicately on the fence between sweeping, venturous movements and the trembling, emotive elegance that stays true to the core of Bullock’s confessional writing. Intricate melodies weave through huge dynamic swells and breaks that lend each song a unique mood.
