So far Catherine And The Owl have had two official releases: their debut, EP 'I', released in 2008 and the 2010 follow up, 'By your hand, I am spared'.
They are currently in the process of preparing to record their first album, but a whole host of B-sides and rarities can also be found by visiting their soundcloud page.
Recorded in the shadows of Dartmoor in the bleak winter of 2008 - Catherine and the owl's first EP was haunting and atmospheric. Exploring the strange fusion of genres that had brought the band together.
The EP can be downloaded digitally from BandCamp.
“Possibly one of the most powerful, haunting tracks I’ve heard in a long time” - James Santer of Exeter FM on the track 'The Cellar Song.'
"These songs are not just extraordinary, they possess strong melodies and memorable guitar lines to win over even the most hardened indie purist." - Dave Urwin of Live Music Scene, review of EP 'I.'
