Goodnight Owl can lead the way in two directions, an embrace of the dawn, or an adventure into the dark. Make it what you will, Central Australian born Eddie Alexander has developed his song writing to take the listener on a journey lyrically and musically.
After attending university in 2007, he deferred in 2008 to create and develop what has become the basis for Goodnight Owl. Living away from friends and family in Melbourne, song writing became a way of controlling and channelling emotions such as anxiety, depression, homesickness, love and loss. These themes are apparent in each of the songs, but are undertones of the bright and melodic story told, one looking upon or reflecting on their past surroundings.
The development of Goodnight Owl’s sound was significantly inspired by the electronic work of Joe Walker, and now the talented Bella Walker on piano. Eddie, Joe and Bella grew up together in Alice Springs from the tender age of six, and re-connected in Melbourne.
Having gained both Triple J TV and Triple J airplay earlier this year and with the success of the band’s recent EP launch behind them, Goodnight Owl are slowly finding their place in the Melbourne music scene. And with the versatility Goodnight Owl are beginning to develop, as suggested by both their dynamic band and solo gigs, it’s clear once Goodnight Owl find their place, they’ll be here to stay.
Goodnight Owl’s debut EP was recorded in November of 2008 with producer Nick Huggins, using a studio, a church, and a bedroom in the inner city suburbs of Melbourne. It’s now available on Itunes, at Polyester Records (Brunswick St, Melbourne), via Paypal on myspace, and is set to warm the winter in the woods.
