V (Barn Owl album)

V is the fourth studio album by the American drone metal band Barn Owl. It was released in 2013 on Thrill Jockey. The album continues Barn Owl's exploration of minimalist and atmospheric compositions, characterized by extended drones, heavily reverbed guitars, and a generally slow and meditative pace. Compared to previous releases, some critics noted a subtle shift towards incorporating slightly more structured elements, though the overall sound remained deeply rooted in drone and ambient textures. V was generally well-received by critics, who praised its immersive and evocative atmosphere.
