Evan Caminiti and Jon Porras met in San Francisco in 2006 and immediately started playing music together. Over the next four years, the two gradually sculpted a vast collection of hazy desert sky meditations - ominous barren expanses of music for desert walks at dusk and dark, pastoral passages embellished with psychedelic and atmospheric wash. A mixture between devotional ragas and dusty stomp with atmosphere and production that references shoegaze and black metal influences. ANCESTRAL STAR, their third LP, marks the evolution of the Barn Owl sound into a territory where it has become wholly it's own, transcending the sum of it's influences and taking on a life of it's own.
