Cowgill

about

Cowgill - an eclectic, indie folk rock group hailing from Boston - is set to release Side One of its debut album, Planted, on May 17. Recorded at Power Station New England - the near-perfect replica of Avatar Studios in Manhattan - the five tracks toe the line between a Beatles-y pop sensibility, a darker folk rock side, and experimental song structures easily missed on the first listen. Cowgill nimbly hops genres several times throughout the record, occasionally even mid-song. Phil Tortoroli of MP3.com refers to the album’s opener as "...harking closer to Wilco’s current discography with its lush arrangement of strings, acoustic guitars, and plodding drum lines." Funded largely through the generosity of their fans, friends, and family via Kickstarter, the tunes on Cowgill’s debut release will appeal to fans of Dr. Dog, The Head and the Heart, Radiohead, and The Decemberists alike.
