Sparks & Shadows release The C.O.W.L. Sessions, an audio companion to the first five issues of the hit comic book series C.O.W.L., created by Kyle Higgins & Alec Siegel, with art by Rod Reis. The recording features original music by Joe Clark...

The C.O.W.L. Sessions is a bit of a strange release (but a damn fine one) in that it's designed to accompany the first five issues of the comic book series C.O.W.L. This is a jazz-based score that really ups the atmosphere for the comic...

Whether you're a fan of jazz or not, there's much to enjoy here as background music while you flick through the story.
