Interstellar Skeletal

• Track Listing

Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release from the indie psych outfit. Following their 2013 mini-album Healing, Weird Owl is back with Interstellar Skeletal. For the first time since their formation in 2004, Weird Owl have kept the same lineup for consecutive releases, and Interstellar Skeletal reveals further explorations into the psychic canyons mined on Healing. Their psychedelic postcards are written in the cosmic breathiness of the synthesizer and the alien ululations of a guitar tuned to secret frequencies, rumbling through the ages on illuminated rhythmic grids. Each track on Interstellar Skeletal serves as an inter dimensional portal to free zones beyond the usual terrestrial veil, whether it is via odd jungle shamanism ('Silver Ziggurats'), the WWII bomber as spiritual metaphor ('Flying Fortress'), death personified as an albino lycanthrope ('White Werewolf'), or the unsettling might of an extraterrestrial deity crashing a beach picnic ('God'). Interstellar Skeletal was recorded and mixed by Jeffrey Berner (Psychic TV, NAAM, Dead Stars) at Galuminum Foil Studio in Brooklyn in the fall of 2014, following Weird Owl's first-ever European tour.
