Thus:Owls, duo of the gifted Swedish singer Erika Angell and her Canadian guitarist husband, recorded their second album, Harbours, in a village on the Seine in southern France, though the record sounds less like an ideal couple's vacation than it does the weight of being apart. One of the most moving songs is their delicately elegiac "White Night," whose video was directed by Brigitte Henry in high-contrast black-and-white, adding an even more surreal effect to golden masks and grass flickering in the wind. Harbours is due October 2nd.
