Breathe Owl Breathe

Comprised of **Micah Middaugh** (guitar, vocals), Andréa Paz (cello, vocals) and **Trevor Hobbs** (percussion and keys), the trio **Breathe Owl Breathe** have a knack for wrapping universal emotions in childlike language. …There, by the heat of a wood stove, they honed their sound—a wild rumpus of harmony and rhythm. The band’s music is terrifically disarming, Middaugh’s cracked tenor ambling over acoustic guitars, Paz’s cello swooping in gracefully, like a warm breeze or a host of doves. While some peers have reveled in reinvigorating the old, weird side of Americana, their flare for pop-addled melodies flips the contemporary folk aesthetic.
