You just released a new song! Will you tell us about it?
White Owl’ was originally inspired by a lucid dream bassist and singer Cecilia had. This is our newest single off of our upcoming debut album, recorded at Rancho De La Luna & produced by Dave Catching. White Owl brings a heavy driven riff that has a powerful energy with some witchy, mystical vibes and lyrics. This new single is about gaining insight and broadening your perspective beyond the ego mind.
What was the creative process for it?
White Owl was originally inspired by a lucid dream with a white owl. Cecilia : I awoke in a dream to find a giant white owl flying towards me. I felt the magical wisdom and peaceful energy of the owl as its beautiful wings flew closer towards me. There was a strong sense of interconnection and I was pulled to lift up my hand for it to land on. This was some magical owl medicine that immediately inspired me to write a song as soon as I woke up! This dream acted as the catalyst and then Béah wrote an epic, heavy guitar riff on her new white sg at the time. After Béah wrote that riff our lyrics followed shortly after.
Who are some of your biggest musical influences?
So many but to name a few..Iggy Pop, Joan Jett, The Runaways, The Kills, Nirvana, The Breeders, Royal Blood, All Them Witches, Queens Of The Stoneage, Slaves, Corrosion Of Conformity and the list goes on!
Who would be a dream collaboration for you?
Collaborating with Joan Jett would be killer! She has inspired so many women before her to pick up a guitar and play rock n’ roll!
Do you have a piece of advice you carry with you that you like to pass on to other musicians?
Béah: Play and sing from your heart! My music is such an emotional release and a unique and personal gift I can share with others. It’s beautiful to be able to connect with a total stranger when you share your music from an honest and vulnerable place. Also, be dedicated with your practice, have patience, yet don’t take yourself too seriously. There’s a balance, but having fun is number one!
Cecilia: Fully letting go and getting out of your own head, whether on stage or in the studio will allow for magic to channel through you! Any performance could be your last so give it all you’ve got!
