New Weird Owl Due in July
They’re high in the running for Best Moniker Pun, Brooklyn-region (some stiff competition there), and it came down the chute the other day that Tee Pee psychedelic five-piece Weird Owl will have a new full-length out this July. There’s nothing quite like psych in the hot summer. It makes everything that much hotter, true, but also infinitely more bearable, and in the coming days of “let’s save money by shutting off the A/C” office politics, I’ll take what I can get for comfort.
The news reads thusly:
Weird Owl, the Brooklyn band that creates music by “searching out the convergence of imagination, poetry and sound,” will release its sophomore 
album Build Your Beast a Fire on July 26 via Tee Pee Records. The follow-up to the band’s 2009 debut Ever the Silver Chord be Loosed was recorded at Verdant Studio in Vermont with Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr., Witch, Sonic Youth) and The Drawing Room in Kingston, NY, with Bishop Allen‘s Justin Rice.
“Build Your Beast a Fire represents Weird Owl in its most structured and melodic incarnation yet,” commented vocalist/bassist Trevor Tyrrell. “The album is part magical, part scientific; part futuristic, part ancient; part muscular, part psychological; part heavenly and part terrestrial. It dwells perfectly in a universe of its own creation.”
