Brilliant San Francisco drone duo Barn Owl have their new album V (artwork above) set for release next month via Thrill Jockey, and here's a listen to another new cut from the LP, 'The Long Shadow':

Similarly to 'Void Redux', our previous taster of the album, the track combines guitars with the duo's new, more synth-heavy approach: a skeletal, baroque guitar line snakes its way through the track, while electronics tick and whirr beneath, underpinned by a mighty leviathan of an organ powering away in the lower reaches.
