She Owl

Part female, part animal, She Owl's voice is in tune with the creatures of forest: light, delicate as a hunter of fearful night shades yet intense and fierce as a bite into the ears. The music is wild and evocative, cut to the bones, a blend of darkness, tenderness and despair ignited by psychedelic and neoclassical flames. The band's performance is intended to be a tribal experience to share together with the audience, a musical, theatrical and heartfelt offer that is open to the extraordinary.
Latest project of multi-instrumentalist and storyteller Jolanda Moletta (italian-born but officialy adopted by the independent music scene of the Bay Area), She Owl recorded their critically acclaimed full-length debut in San Francisco with the participation of Dave Mihaly (Jolie Holland, Ara Anderson), Roberta Cartisano, Mark Nelsen (Electric Shepherd), Atiba Starr (Blue Sky Black Death) and other local musicians as well. The record has been released on October 7th, 2013 by Broken Toys, PPZK (Peter Piek) in Europe and DIT Records (Amanda Rogers) in the US.
She Owl plays live as a duo or as a full band. Their astonishing live performances around the US and Europe have been compared to the ones of My Brightest Diamond, Agnes Obel, Bat for Lashes, PJ Harvey, Dead Can Dance, Nico.
In the last years Jolanda shared the stage with artists like Cocorosie, Joan as Policewoman, Kaki King, The Last Internationale.
Critics and public claim however the uniqueness and the originality of She Owl's journey: the meticulous research ofuncommon instruments (kalimba, indian harmonium, autoharp, frame drums) and arrangements, the use of Jolanda's voice, both evocative and narrative, the lyrics, symbolic and intense fables for the collective soul.

Fiercely independent, She Owl's music is nowadays part of the endangered species: delicate as the wind in the trees, unfamiliar as an ancient fairytale, liberating like drums around the fire and frightening as a bird of prey.
She Owl works and lives between Paris and San Francisco, and sometimes hides in a small village in the NW italian woods, close to wolves, owls, wild nature and their ancient, spellbinding stories."

Why the name SHE OWL?

‘She Owl’ is a symbol, an image of our true nature, which is wise and wild at once, so difficult to describe but so easy to feel, to sense, to be aware of.
What we call wisdom should be untamed, uncontrolled and uncompromised, otherwise we must call it in another way. Wisdom can be seen as dangerous in a society that claims to be constantly reassured and comforted.
Owls can see and hear much more than humans: they can fly in the dark, hunting in a graceful, merciless way and knowing when to hide and when to show themselves. Suddenly we raise our eyes and spot an owl up on a tree: it stands like a ritual mask, forgotten by a mad spirit who lost his way home. There’s something so unusual and bizarre in the look of an owl, that lead us to associate this animal with some ancient, mythical creature from a different world, then our mind immediately gets lost and we think "Is this reality or am I dreaming?”.
Women can be impressive and enchanting as well, except for the fact that men don’t see their wings and therefore refuse to believe they can fly. Too many history and philosophy books have been focused on what men’s actions and men’s thoughts are, leaving most of the women in the darkness and giving them less or no importance at all. Fair or not, women have learned, they had to learn, to move in the darkness, in a medial world at the borders of a man’s society, and many of them have learned again to fly. Whenever someone, man or woman, starts questioning what he or she sees and hears (and thinks), and there’s a small chance to cross the forced borders, may a ‘She Owl’ come and guide him or her, widening their eyes and ears, and perspectives, in the darkest hours before sunrise.
