after three years hibernating deep within the High Focus catacombs, the parliament have reformed once more. Set to take flight and restore a Natural Order amongst a world full of chaos.
This defiant group of owls consist of Fliptrix (Big Owl), Verb T (Bird T), BVA (Rusty Take-Off) and Leaf Dog (Deformed Wing). Whether individually or combined, these owls are not to be messed with, their prey (the listener) stand no chance.
The Owls first album Natures Greatest Mystery, a modern day classic, was High Focus' most ambitious release to date, acting as the perfect showcase and introduction to the High Focus collective.
Now, older, wiser and more mature, The Four Owls are back and you guys are really not ready for what they have in store!
The 16 track album starts with Rice Torture, as soon as you press play, the organ laced beat hits you like a soulful brick to the face. Leading into Silent Flight, the first single to be taken from the album. Giving us eagerly awaiting fans a little taste of what's to come.

Feels Great is paying homage to anyone who has helped lay a stepping stone in the Owls path to success. They are obviously enjoying their journey, getting love for being nothing but themselves, not just in the UK, but worldwide.
Clearly they are doing something right, as the legendary Dj Premier has caught wind of The Owls in full flight. Capturing their essence on the second single to be lifted from the album Think Twice, a track produced by the man himself. That alone is history in the making and a massive look for the hip hop scene as a whole.

Following the formation of Natures Greatest Mystery, fellow High Focus members Dirty Dike and Jam Baxter both make an appearance on the album. Smellington Piff is also added to the mix featuring on track Dawn Of A New Day.
It's fair to say, Natural Order is everything you'd expect it to be, yet so much more. Leaf Dogs production excels. He has certainly mastered his craft, composing head-nodding bangers and soul infused classics. Each Owl shows evident progression. Every bar is like a sharp jab to the gut, hard hitting and straight to the point. The Flows are flawless and the chemistry is undeniable.
Natural Order is officially released on the 12th January 2015. Be it via Digital Download, C.D or Limited Edition Vinyl, pre-order your copy today. You do not want to miss this one!
The single Think Twice will also be available on Limited Edition 12" Vinyl and via Digital Download.
The Four Owls are currently on tour, already selling out two of their venues, fans attending will have the chance to get their albums in advance. Be sure to follow The Owls on Facebook and Instagram, to keep up with their antics!
