Thus Owls is a Swedish-Canadian experimental indie rock band based in Montreal, Quebec, consisting of husband and wife duo Simon and Erika Angell.〔Ben Rayner, ("Thus Owls is the ‘must-see’ band at North by Northeast" ). ''Toronto Star'', June 17, 2014.〕 == History == Prior to forming the duo, Simon Angell was a guitarist in Patrick Watson's band, while Erika Angell was based in Sweden, where she led bands Josef & Erika and The Moth and was backup vocalist for Loney, Dear.〔 Thus Owls formed as a four piece in 2007 when Erika Angell began collaborating with drummer Ola Hultgren, bassist Martin Höper and pianist Cecilia Persson. She met Montrealer Simon Angell while they were both on tour in Amsterdam the same year and he quickly joined the group. The band released ''Cardiac Malformations'' in 2009. ''Cardiac Malformations'' was recorded by Oskar Lindberg during five days in the Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg, Sweden. The band toured frequently over the next two years in support of the album, mainly in Europe and parts of North America, playing with such bands as Patrick Watson, Karkwa and Little Dragon. The following album, ''Harbours'', was released on January 23, 2013. ''Harbours'' was recorded at the La Frette studio in Paris, France. Erika and Simon Angell subsequently moved to Montreal,〔 and enlisted local drummer Stef Schneider and keyboard player Parker Shper to round out the permanent lineup alongside bassist Morgan Moore. Their third album, ''Turning Rocks'', was released in 2014 on Secret City Records, and was a longlisted nominee for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize.〔("Polaris Music Prize announces 2014 long list" ).
