Search - O.W.L. :: Of Wondrous Legends

"Drawing mainly on artrock and early light-prog aesthetics, O.W.L. deliver an ambitious song cycle which at its best transforms into dazzling psychedelia." -- The Acid Archives A Chicago psych folk classic recovered from the dustbins of history, this album has earned comparisons to Tim Buckley, Pearls Before Swine, and '60s British prog-folk. A founding member of beloved Midwestern hippie jam band Mountain Bus, Stephen Titra left that band in 1968 in order to devote himself to the singular vision of O.W.L. Of Wondrous Legends was recorded at Chicago's Universal Studios in 1971, but despite interest from a number of major labels, the gem went unreleased. Then, in 2004, a copy of one of the test pressings was unearthed in a Chicago junk shop. Following several years of collaborative efforts, Of Wondrous Legends now sees its first public release after some 35 years of obscurity.
