Since there's already a bunch of bands called Barn Owl, one of which I find pretty fucking awesome and in a comparable genre, and we weren't really all that excited about the name anyway, we've changed it.
Barn Owl is now Nonreturner.
We are done with the album. It was recorded 3 seperate times, the final time by Barry Hibdon at his Red Boots Studio in Columbia and by myself (Zach) in various bedrooms and parked cars. Here's the tracklist:
1. Awash
2. the Horse and Buggy Days
3. Black Clouds*
4. Sockhops*
5. Ex-Parte Til You Puke
6. Agoraphobia
7. Wake Up Underwater
8. Mysterious Occurrence at the Ice Cream Social
9. Oh My My*
*=redone and re-recorded from the Barn Owl EP
We're trying to figure out the best way to get it to you. Until then, I'm going to upload a track from the album to whet your appetite. Check around later this evening.
Thank you all for your encouragement and support.

We've been through three distinctly different versions of Horse and Buggy Days trying to get this shit right, but I think I'm close. I scrapped the original electronic beat for one slightly more minimal, and swapped out the washy pad-synth for an 8-bit nintendo sounding fugue. I only wish we would have recorded everything just slightly faster...
