Elektrikytary by The Owl

'This album is for all those ignited by metal, punk, grind, doom, black, thrash, riffs and speed noise chaos with spaced out psychedelic bits!
Just one kid and a guitar. Play on 11!'
Tommy Vance, Radio 1 Rock Show 1991

For all my friends in riffs over the years (bands and excitement of).
You kept me alive, and I am so utterly absolutely massively appreciative of it. I don't take it for granted, I will never forget you all. If we've shared a riff moment in our lives, then that is part of this story.

Crazy times led to an incredibly eventful life that I never thought I would have, or deserve, or know to be a part of. Thank you a děkuji vám a takk, and all other languages I wish I could learn whilst I exist!

All original sounds from 4 hour improvised guitar session
in rehearsal room Klub Futra, Orlová - November 27th, 2022

Sped up, chopped, changed to become a new container of spikey, stringed slabs of skewered sound, with many separate sessions, until the happy day of July 26th 2024 when I could call it complete.

I was nervous or unsure whether to put this out there, for a long time. There's a much longer story, of course, but I will spare you and just say that it lived in an 'archive for releases I may never publish' for a year even after a lot of work on it, before recently reopening, figuring out how to finish it off, and then getting the confidence to let it go.

RIP Owen. I think I understand.
I think you would get all this.

'Got lost in riffs and space'.
