Wake Owl is an indie pop band based in Vancouver, British Columbia and Portland, Oregon.[1] The band's core members are singer and songwriter Colyn Cameron and multi-instrumentalist Aiden Brant-Briscall.[2]

Following several years of international travel during which Cameron wrote songs primarily as a hobby, the band released its debut EP as a free internet download in 2012, and was rereleased January 29, 2013 on Vagrant Records.[3] The band toured both Canada and the United States to support the EP.

The EP garnered airplay on CBC Radio 2, with the title track reaching #1 on the Radio 2 Top 20 in June 2013,[4] and the track "Gold" was featured in an episode of Grey's Anatomy.[5]

The band garnered a Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2014.[6] Following this nomination, the band toured several cities in Canada and were featured on the CBC Radio show q for an interview and live performance of a few songs from their forthcoming album.[7]

The band's debut full-length album The Private World of Paradise was released March 4, 2014 on Rezolute Music.[8] The album is described as more experimental and pop-oriented than Wild Country, with an increased emphasis on rhythm and synth-pop textures.[9]

Their second full-length album, Kaleidoscopes, was released July 20, 2017, preceded by the singles "Tricks" and "To Be Used".
