Press Kit (EPK)

BIO:

From the small town of Pullman, WA four became one as Yarn Owl emerged in the autumn of 2007. Meeting through the college radio station KZUU 90.7 FM, Javier Suarez, Tim Meinig (Band of Horses), Tyler Armour, and Ted Powers meld the pop sensibilities of the 60’s and 70’s with a twist of modern indie flare. Although coming from the wheat fields of nowhere, Yarn Owl has established a solid fan base and played with some well known bands in its short existence including opening for The Helio Sequence, The Grand Archives, Fruit Bats, Mt St Helens Vietnam Band, Women, Sera Cahoone, Low vs Diamond, LAKE, The Most Serene Republic, and more.

The band is constantly working on recording new material and recently put out a cassette tape through California based label Leftist Nautical Antiques. This 7 song tape entitled “Tiny Dots” features some of the best work from the band. Yarn Owl is currently unraveling a new 6 song EP called “Stay Warm” recorded and mixed with Chris Early and mastered by Ed Brooks. Tentative release for early 2010 depending upon label looks.

Yarn Owl is managed by Larson Hicks at stereopathicmusic.com and can be reached for booking and other inquiries at

From the Press

Yarn Owl must be pretty secure in their masculinity. They’ve got a gentle, playful sound and a near-falsetto set of lead vocals that a lot of bands wouldn’t dare try onstage. Not many groups could pull off a sweet, soft relationship song like “Rubik’s Cube” (a song that, by the way, rhymes “Yahtzee” with “not see,” which is an automatic win) and make it work. They are utterly adorable, and I mean that as a compliment. Good job, men. — Paul Constant, The Stranger
