CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Chicago's Mike Kinsella (Cap'n Jazz, Joan Of Arc, American Football, Owls) is the sole creative output behind Owen. From an artist who has, in the past, recorded entire albums in his childhood bedroom berating lost love and personal missteps, it's a new chapter. The end result is this record, a new extension in the lineage of Owen's music. And being at home with oneself never sounded so freeing. "Kinsella brings to mind the acousticity of Elliott Smith...with subtexts that range from the somber folk reflection of Nick Drake and the cracked emotionalism of Paul Westerberg to the glorious pop melancholy of Joe Pernice" - Harp.

CD ReviewsPerhaps Owen's Best Ian M. Hasler | 11/13/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Mike Kinsella, for now, has simultaneously the most catchy and technically-apt post-emo songs out on the national scene, between this release and his last release, I Do Perceive (which I honestly can't chose between). If you had an emo-stage back in the late 90s when emo still had some steam (with bands like Get Up Kids, Modest Mouse, At the Drive-In, The Promise Ring, Sense Field, and Sunny Day Real Estate), Owen may appeal to your developed tastes now. If you are into those talented few emo bands now but would like to insert some more talent into your music player and would like to retain some of that feeling of youthfulness in your music but can't palate the pathetic display of emotion (or would like to offset the occasional display with some badassery), Owen may be the fit for you. Very sincere in comparison to his brother's work, but like his brother, Mike keeps the music varied and hip. If you haven't heard any of Owen previously, I recommend downloading Bad News (from At Home with Owen) and Playing Possum for a Peek (from I do perceive)."
