Breathe Owl Breathe ready release of “The Listeners/These Train Tracks” book + 7″

November 3, 2011

On December 6th, Breathe Owl Breathe will be releasing a 7” for the singles “The Listeners” and “These Train Tracks,” along with a children’s book that was written, illustrated, carved, and printed by BOB’s Micah Middaugh.  Because each canvas-covered volume is being handcrafted and assembled by the band, the release will be limited to 750 copies. Pre-orders are currently available here.

While the lyrics of both of the singles follow the words/story in the childrens book, the sound of the two tracks are completely different. “The Listeners” features the combined vocals of Middaugh and a child, along with the delicate strumming of an acoustic guitar, minimal drum patterns, and some beautiful orchestral instruments. “These Train Tracks,” on the other hand, uses organic drum patterns created by handclaps, finger snaps, and what sounds to be a hand slapping a table, along with a repetitive synth line. What really stands out on “These Train Tracks” are the additional backing vocals, which act as another percussive instrument in the song, and really add another layer of sound to the story BOB is telling.
