I love finding records of random bands I’ve heard of before and just falling in love with. If you’d asked me a band called Between Owls couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t have told you anything about them. As of today, their second album Vacation is one of my most listened to records in 2025. Somehow I ended up browsing the KROD Records webstore and the cover of the LP spoke to me. “A bunch of flamingos standing in a park, really?” I hear you say and I don’t really have an answer. But something made me check out the music behind the band/album and I just happened to really like what I heard. It’s not a style of music I usually listen, so if you’d just described the music, which is somewhere between indie, low-fi and dream pop, I probably would have been dismissive about it. But again, the music triggered something in me and the singer has a really beautiful voice. Sometimes it’s just like that. My favorite song by far is Go For A Ride, a cool 60s inspired indie song. And you can call me crazy, but I could see some of the songs featured in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
The record was pressed on a bunch of different marble colors, all of which looked cool to me. You couldn’t order a specific colour though, whichever record you got was chosen randomly. While I understand that that might trigger or even anger some people, I was fine with taking gamble and I got lucky, because the red looks great and works well with the cover.
