VOWLS are a psychedelic band from Toronto who combine the energetic inventiveness of mutant-disco and post-punk with the pan-global influences and technological embrace of krautrock. They create music that is both forward thinking and bottom shaking. Taking up the call for what Brian Eno claims is the greatest challenge in music today, VOWLS aren’t afraid to play Pop music either. In a way they use it as a trojan horse, playing with its conventions and boundaries in order to create something wholly new, that is simultaneously visionary, provocative & catchy-as-hell. The band has set out to liberate minds and limbs around the world and has started to do so playing sold-out shows with like-minded travellers Caribou, Four Tet, Mi Ami, A Sunny Day in Glasgow, and Little Girls in the past year. In fall 2009 VOWLS set off on a micro-tour with Stones Throw artist Koushik, pulling off the double duty of opening and playing as his backing band.

Their first  EP, In Consonance (pt.1) was released on Blood & Water in spring 2010. VOWLS just completed a remix for the Born Ruffians and released a 7” on Polyphasic Recordings.
