It's only a matter of time before we G.O. all the way.

Hey indie scene, there's a new group in town, and they're looking for a place to stay. You think your Mom would mind if they crashed on the couch for a while?

In 2009, vocalist Eddie Alexander, electronic-ist Joe Walker, keyboardist Bella Walker and drummer Eric Moore came together to form Goodnight Owl, the semi-pop/folk/electronic style foursome out of Melbourne, Australia. Even though they're still a virtual unknown, Goodnight Owl is already being compared to the likes of Bon Iver, The Postal Service, Band of Horses and Whitley. They're more than that, though. Goodnight Owl has developed a sound with an elusive, indescribable twinge of sustainability that so many other bands are lacking.

It seems as though Goodnight Owl will be sticking to gigs on their Aussie turf for the here and now. Although, I have a feeling it's only a short matter of time before their name rolls off of your favorite indie-ite's tongue while listing who they're currently listening to...

G.O. recently wrapped filming on their debut music video for "Maps and Compasses" from their self-titled debut EP, released last year. Check it here :
