Experimental folk musician Landon Fleischman who works under the moniker Boy Willows, brings us his latest effort with the single Night Owl. Having grown up in the suburbs of Maryland his musical journey started with a Yamaha acoustic guitar at age 8, taking influence from the likes of The Kinks and James Blake. On Night Owl, he weaves shuffling rhythms among driving bass lines, creating an indie sound that’s as swaggering as it is colourful.
Commenting on his creative process he’s said, âWhenever I would lay down some chords and a melody, I would close my eyes and see what kind of landscape and season it took me to. That would inspire the content of the song. I start off finding an interesting chord progression/ melody on guitar or ukulele, then I sing gibberish over it until words form. Kind of a meditative exercise to let whateverÊŒs in my subconscious fall out of my mouth.â
