Coming shortly on the heels of their 2013 »mini-LP« Healing, Weird Owl are back in 2015 with
a full-length LP entitled Interstellar Skeletal, once again being released by »a« Recordings, Ltd.
For the first time in their ten-year history, Weird Owl have kept the same lineup for
consecutive releases, and Interstellar Skeletal reveals further explorations into the psychic
canyons mined on Healing. Rather than scrapping the mission and returning to base for
debriefing before attempting a relaunch, Weird Owl's strange sonic rocketry has ventured ever
deeper into the vast starry expanse, and their transmissions back to Earth have grown ever
freakier as a result. 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
interdimensional 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. Although
neither meticulously aped nor mindlessly conjured, the familiar influences of Spacemen 3, The
13th Floor Elevators and The Brian Jonestown Massacre continue to find a home in Weird
Owl's music, perhaps mostly in spirit form.
