Weird Owl - Build Your Beast A Fire (2011) (Full Album)

Build Your Beast a Fire,' flows like a classic Floyd or Spirit album, with alchemical themes, pastoral interludes, synthesizer experiments, and explosions of rock. Like harmonizing druids from outer space, Weird Owl take listeners on a magical mystery trip deep inside our planet in order to arrive at theirs. Rooted by Kenneth Cook's hooky basslines and adorned by John Cassidy's keyboard and synth work, the songs seamlessly incorporate elements of 60s psychedelia, 70s roots rock à la CSNY or The Allman Brothers, and post-modern sensibilities.

Weird Owl’s sophomore release on TeePee Records, Build Your Beast A Fire, finds the New York City five-piece in a similarly altered state of mind as its 2009 debut, Ever the Silver Cord Be Loosed, but the band has taken a decidedly different path to get there.

With a focus on tighter songwriting and arranging, BYBAF boasts a much more concise and melodic approach to the band’s signature take on the inner-to-outer-space psychedelic continuum. The acid-tinged mysticism of the 13th Floor Elevators that was once channeled through the ragged stomp of Crazy Horse is now given life through a voice closer to the odd clarity of mid-era Pink Floyd mixed with the synthesized textures of The Flaming Lips.

So ready your supplies--packing telescope, compass and microscope—and head directly for the innermost reaches of the forest. The trees will serve as speakers and the vines will rasp out a melody as they curl through your hair: “Build Your Beast A Fire!”
