Goodnight Owl – 'Maps & Compasses' video launch

Don’t bring up the words ‘owl’ and ‘electronic’ in the same sentence. My sanity has been previously clobbered, throttled and wrenched painfully through a meat processor when my amiable work peers have carelessly thrown that awful Owl City’s Fireflies concoction on repeat. Thankfully, the combination of those words evoke more pleasant associations closer to home.

Above is the debut clip for Melb band Goodnight Owl’s EP single Maps & Compasses. Directed by Hayden Calnin and concept by Eddie Alexander, it was filmed throughout the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. The track is laced with some sweet electronic reverbs, while Eddie Alexander’s vocals add celestial warmth to the track. The band launch their video at The Workers Club in Melbourne on Saturday July 24th with Sleep Decade (also launching a video) and Hayden Calnin.
