Weird Owl

Weird Owl is a Brooklyn band that resides in the heaviness inherent in the convergence of imagination, poetry and sound. First formed in 2004 and through its odd mutations involving changes in approach and personnel, Weird Owl has arrived at the present day in its most solid and powerful formation yet. Weird Owl has crafted a sonic mindscape inspired by legendary acts such as the 13th Floor Elevators and Crazy Horse that states its relevance to modern-day masters Black Mountain, Dead Meadow and The Black Angels.



In its first release for Tee Pee Records, entitled Ever the Silver Cord Be Loosed, Weird Owl has gathered together a tour de force of its peculiar craft--hypnotic slithering guitar lines, the strange breathiness of cosmic synths, a dash of the punishing heaviness of the riff--all contained within phantasmagoric song structures and expressed with the language of a true visionary experience.
There are many ways to be born, but Weird Owl would like to invite you to witness one of the weirdest: a birth experienced while already living.
"It’s like an angry LOVE translating the ALEISTER CROWLEY oeuvre into music with NEIL YOUNG on guitar." Michael Toland, The Big Takeover
"Ever the Silver Cord Be Loosed is one of those rare albums where a band has come out fully formed and functional without any growing pains apparent. Let's just hope that if the Psychedelic Americana Blues Stomp Revival trend kicks off, this is one of the albums that serves as its blueprint." Punk News
"These fabulously monikered Brooklyn heads essay a mellow satanic majesty, leavening hirsute riffs with an organ-flavoured mysticism redolent of tube amps and patchouli." MOJO Magazine
"It’s exhilarating stuff, conjuring up images of some vast, cosmic desert. That these boys hail from the Big Apple doesn’t seem possible; they sound like their hearts and spaced-out heads are firmly planted in some mythic Southwest." Jason P. Woodbury, Tiny Mix Tapes
"Numbing and rocking at the same time, don't be surprised if this album is deemed a controlled substance by the FDA." The Daily News Pittsburgh
"Brooklyn's Weird Owl exhale huge clouds of vintage lysergic rock through a veritable echo chamber of sonic delights." Revolver
"Brooklyn's Weird Owl has the sound of a band that was exiled to Stonehenge, given a whole bunch of ganja and scratched up Floyd, Crazy Horse and Roky Erickson records and told they would not be released from the land where the banshees live and they do live well until they had compiled a record full of fuzzy psyched out space rock." Christen Thomas, RCRDLBL
"They hail from the Stoner Rock league, southwest division. They aren’t mind-expanding as much as mind obliterating. Like their peers, the lyrics could be pulled from a tarot card reading. In their case, the cards are laid out in the bed of a pickup, after a night in the desert, the revelers wrapped in Indian blankets, waiting for the sun to rise." Ben Donnelly, Dusted Magazine
"Weird Owl plunder the sensibilities with frayed guitar lines that linger as well as they evaporate, all the while intimating that something wildly subversive is occurring. Ever the Silver Cord Be Loosed takes place under the cracked sky, where fractured constitutions surrender the quest for that which cannot be searched out." Parasites & Sycophants
"Neil Young in the desert, jamming with Meat Puppets, Screaming Trees and Black Sabbath under the influences of mindexpanding mushrooms and with a bookshelf full of occult literature within reach." Lords of Metal
