A five-piece indie-pop group from four different countries, Owl & Boys (猫头音) has been slowly producing catchy original Mandarin tunes since 2013, with their first EP《谁的你》 (Whose You) finally being released in October 2014. A blend of silky-pop vocals from lead singer Qiqi (柒柒)and live-inspired instrumentation from the multinational band, Owl & Boys is a fresh, no-strings-attached take on what Mandarin pop music could be.
