Strangers by They Seem Like Owls

'Strangers' was recorded between January 2013 and February 2016 by each member from the comfort of their own homes. Although Jason and Billy previously knew each other, the entire album was written before Dan had met either. To this day, Dan cannot be sure if Billy is a human or bad-ass drum machine able to pass the Turing Test and Dan has only seen Jason in person once. Our mixing engineer is in Switzerland, mastering engineer in Sweden, and 5.1 engineer in England. Hence, the album is aptly named 'Strangers.'

P R E S S

“I can't WAIT for the new album by They Seem Like Owls, the highly experimental and totally exciting band that's equal parts prog, djent, ambient and healthy dose of avant-garde saxophone-based jazz. Incredible stuff from a VERY under-the-radar U.S. band.”
- Jeff Stevens, Prog Metal Zone

“They Seem Like Owls are a talented trio who hopefully will find some success with 'Strangers.' This is a very well written and well produced album sure to please prog metal fans who like both aggression and atmosphere.”
- Progman Rob, Progressive Music Planet

"... [an album] that has the great merit of offering a wide musical spectrum that can't help but to also affect your pretentious ways. What a discovery."
- Francis Scarci, Pit of the Damned

They Seem Like Owls is a home-studio project with a broad range of musical influences including progressive rock, post-metal, experimental, and non-musical influences including Albert Camus, David Lynch, and Justin Bieber.
