Review – Weird Owl – Build Your Beast A Fire
When Weird Owl released 2009’s Ever The Silver Cord Be Loosed it was met with mixed reviews. Some loved it (I did), some hated it. No matter what your opinion was of it, it certainly struck a cord with you. At the time they were compared to Neil Young and Crazy Horse. The sound was close, take away a bit of the classic rock and add a bit of some psychedelic rock and that’s your sound.
Build Your Beast A Fire, the band’s latest release, doesn’t stray to far. There’s a nice mix of harder tracks and some more acoustic based. A few of the songs such as “Tiny Sleeping Animals” have a bit of a folksy tone to it. It suits the album well actually. “Mirrors In The Mud” and “Two Headed Brother” are a few of the songs that mixes that sound with some psychedelics. (more…)

The Soda Shop Needs Help
As Jake posted on Facebook a few days ago, we’re looking for help. Him and I focus a lot on the rock side of things and we tend to neglegt the doom and sludge portion. Because of that we’re looking for a contributor or two to help add give those two other genres a little bit more exposure. Here is what we’re looking for:
Some writing experience preferred but not required. Please submit a few samples of your work. Samples may be cut and paste into an email, a URL or any other form.
We’re looking for people passionate about the doom and sludge genres of music. If you don’t absolutley love doom and sludge then still feel free to submit but keep in mind that doom and sludge is out top priority.
Must have both a Facebook and WordPress account. Knowledge of both also required. No HTML experience required but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
Contributors will be required to review doom and sludge albums and post the reviews on The Soda Shop blog and post links on The Soda Shop Facebook page. Whenever possible, post about doom and sludge related news onto the blog and Facebook page. Keep in mind, this is more or less done in your spare time. You put in what time you can and contribute as much as you can. We aren’t looking for someone that’s going to post something once every few months, please don’t bother if you’re that type.
Now this doesn’t pay money. We’re all as broke as the next person. We can pay you by giving you our thanks and from time to time, free music. Look at it as more of a way to unleash some of your creative side. We’re not as big as Rolling Stone so we don’t see they type of traffic and submissions they do. Perhaps with your help though we can get there.
After all that your still interested, well send an email to bill.goodman@thesodashop.us with your name and samples.

ARTWORK BY RYAN PATTERSON OF COLISEUM
Weird Owl Offer Working Title To New Album
Weird Owl have forgotten something in their last post
Sorry, meant to mention the working title of the album we’ve recently begun recording:
“Build Your Beast A Fire“.
It tells the cosmic tale of the descent of interstellar Light from the Highest reaches until it permeates the smallest most hidden recesses on Earth, then returning upward to its original abode above.
Where do you fit into the picture?
You will See.
Weird Owl Recording New Album
Tee Pee Records artist Weird Owl have announced via a Myspace blog that recording on their next album is underway.
Finished up the basic tracks last week in Vermont with Justin Pizzoferrato at Verdant Studio.
Great place, nice vibes, strange creatures at night.
Going to start Phase II momentarily.
Dig it!
