Brooklyn's WEIRD OWL will release their 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 and The Drawing Room in Kingston, NY with BISHOP ALLEN's Justin Rice.

The song 'Build Your Beast A Fire I' is now available for download at this location.

"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".
