Event News: Jack Colwell & The OWLS ‘Picture Window’ Album Launch @ Good God Small Club, Sydney – 6 June 2012

Jack Colwell, Sydney’s classically trained composer (Conservatorium of Music) turned alt-pop pioneer releases his highly anticipated debut album, ‘Picture Window’ on 29 May 2012.

Originally conceived as an EP, Colwell’s ideas soon grew beyond the confines of a short-form release. The album features the vocal offerings of Daisy M Tulley (Bridezilla) who stars on the haunting “Waiting For Thee”. Jack also worked with producer Chris Rollans (Lanie Lane, Cloud Control) to create a fusion of dark pop, evocative piano riffs and heart rendering lyrics.

The second single from the record, “Captain’s Melody”, followed on from the buzz single, “Hopechest” (released late last year), which was met with glowing reviews. Melodic flute solos, blissful string sections and a catchy chorus form the foundation of his LP.

Jack performs live with his band, The Owls, an ever-rotating line-up of friends including the likes of multi-instrumentalists Miles Horler, Hayden Woolf and iconic Sydney comedian, Genevieve Fricker.

In his teens, Colwell self-released his ‘White Noise’ EP which was featured as FBI Radio’s EP of the Week. He has also previously performed with Architecture in Helsinki, Sydney solo artist Rainbow Chan and Triple J Presenter Brendan Maclean.

2012 has seen Jack invited to assist with the new production from Yeah Yeah Yeah’s frontwoman, Karen O. “Stop the Virgens- a Psycho Opera,” which will be an integral part of Vivid Live’s 2012 showcase at the Sydney Opera House
