About
Owlhead is known as a "fictional" mysterious guitarist who enters the stage with a mask and draws attention with his mastery of instruments. He skillfully combines progressive rock, psychedelic rock, experimental metal, funk, electronic and ambient elements in his musical style, taking the audience on a musical journey in every performance.
Discovered in the archives of a forgotten Tokyo clock tower – Owlhead's mesmerizing instrumental journey through time and machinery. Recorded in an abandoned watchmaking factory using actual clock mechanisms as percussion, this rare gem captures the mechanical poetry of a night watchmaker's solitary existence.
Each note resonates with the precision of finely-tuned gears and the soul of worn brass hands, blending technical guitar prowess with the hypnotic rhythm of time itself. From dawn ("4:33 AM") to midnight ("Shinjuku at Midnight"), follow the watchmaker's meditation on mechanical existence and human purpose.
Inspired by the band leader's grandfather – a clock tower technician in 1970s Japan – "Night Watchmaker" transforms the clicking, ticking, and unwinding of vintage timepieces into a cinematic sonic experience unlike anything you've heard.
