Moon Owl’s Mages is a psych/garage rock band from Boise, Idaho. Forming as Jack Ball's backing band in 2019, the group took a liking to playing covers by artists like OSEES, Tame Impala, King Gizzard, Ty Segall, Coachwhips and other psych outfits. After several shows around town, Jack Ball, Carsen Cranney, Noble Holt and Mike Oliver decided to begin to write content under the new name Moon Owl's Mages. In July 2020 they challenged themselves to write and record a full album in 20 days. After two and a half weeks strapped to a Tascam tape recorder, Skelly Bones and the Flaming Crown was written, recorded, mixed and released to the public. With underlying fantasy-based "hero's journey" storytelling, the band also dives into various genres to compliment the narrative beats of the tale. After a hiatus through COVID, the band recruited Liam Sliney (Crush The Monster) to join their ranks. During this time was also the establishment of Back Wall Records, a Boise-based DIY record label and artist collective formed by the group to independently release their content. In February 2022, the band returned to the studio to record their second record. "Kill The Crackle", the first album to be released through Back Wall Records, was released September 1st, 2022.
