Vowws is an Australian/Iranian duo based in L.A. that caught my attention a few months ago. The first song I heard from them was “Losing Myself in You.” The track has a few elements that bring back the nostalgic darkness from the 80’s: synths, industrial and the unique vocals of Gary Numan.

“Losing Myself in You” pushed me to find out more about Vowws. After listening to their tracks on soundcloud a few times I got the news that they released their debut album, The Great Sun on halloween eve.

The Great Sun is a combo of eleven dense rock songs with layers of distortion and obscure vocals. The album was produced by Kevin McMahon (SWANS, The Walkmen) and features appearances by Gary Numan, Thor Harris (SWANS), Beki Aldridge (The Mavis’s). The record reflects the conflicts and dichotomies between the different personalities of its two members.

Today we feature our favorite track off the album “Losing Myself in You.” And if it leaves you wanting for more you should go to Vowws bandcamp, listen to their LP and buy the vinyl. You can also get their album on iTunes or catch them live, since they just announced a West Coast Tour.
