Owen (aka Mike Kinsella) has a new album, L'Ami du Peuple , coming out on July 2nd on Polyvinyl. He recently released the first single from the album, "Bad Blood".
Quando tiri su una band del genere non puoi che attendere da internet una certa fotta. Hai un tizio apparentemente sconosciuto, ennesimo devoto della chitarra suonata con le dita (non lo so, lo chiamerei tapping così sul momento, ma ho suonato per anni la batteria, non la chitarra, quindi abbiate pietà di un eventuale errore, volevo solo evitare l'ennesima ripetizione e fuggire dal termine 'twinkle'), che si scopre essere il chitarrista dei Loose Lips Sink Ships , sconosciuta quanto figa band math americana, Evan Weiss, di Into It. Over It. e un altro paio di band fighe, tra cui [...]
There really is no time like the present. Owen , the longstanding solo project of Chicago music veteran Mike Kinsella , is gearing up to release his brand new album L'Ami du Peuple this summer. Owen has always dazzled listeners with his patented acoustic music complexities- a manipulated form of playing drawn from the spastic noodling of his former band (and seminal scenesters) Cap'n Jazz or the math rock repetitions of another past project American Football. For a number of releases, the Owen project felt as if it was the logical step for this style of [...]
Mike Kinsella has announced that he'll be releasing a new album this July through Polyvinyl. In addition to releasing a 7" for Record Store, and an EP via his new project Their/They're/There, Kinsella will release a new album as Owen titled L'Ami du Peuple on July through the aforementioned label. His seventh Owen LP will feature "female vocals, pounding drums, and even duelling electric guitar lines," which sounds good to us. It was produced by Neil Strauch (Iron & Wine, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Andrew Bird). Check out the [...]
If news of the New Guantanamo Coachella party didn't get you fired up, here are a few other unavoidable groaners from the week. You had throne-watcher supreme Jay-Z's "Open Letter" over the contrived Cuba trip-White House kerfuffle hype, then your boy RiFF RAFF is slated to guest on the soap "One Life to Live" as a self-referential art slinger named Jamie Franko as a nod to the Spring Breakers actor Alien (whose character was modeled after RiFF by director Harmony Kor...

Chicago songwriter Mike Kinsella has a pair of projects due as the weather warms this spring and summer: Owen - his main vehicle since 2001 - will release a 7th LP on July 2nd preceded by an EP on Record Store Day (4/20), while Their/They're/There - a newly formed trio with Evan Weiss and Matthew Frank - will drop their debut EP and LP on those exact dates. Per recent previews, both offer a feast for fans of melodic electric guitar. His intimate acoustic side might sit out this round, it seems, as Kinsella branched out with more [...]

Veteran singer-songwriter Mike Kinsella — whose past musical projects include American Football, Cap'n Jazz, Owls and Joan of Arc — will soon release the sixth album under his one-man moniker Owen . Titled L'Ami du Peuple (French for "The Friend of the People") and produced by Neil Strauch (Iron & Wine, Andrew Bird), it's due out on July 16th through longtime label Polyvinyl Records. Though not even four minutes long, the first single "Bad Blood" reads like a two-part story of maturation. In the beginning, the track lurches anxiously with pouncing pianos and Kinsella's trademark tricky [...]
New song from Owen from new album 'L'Ami de Peuple' out in July.
Though he wasn't performing in the sanctuary or the chapel, Mike Kinsella kept it intimate in the basement of the First Unitarian Church last night. His hour-long solo acoustic set under the Owen moniker opened with "A Trenchant Critique" from 20092s New Leaves, prompting the fanboys in the audience to gush audibly about Kinsella's voice, ...
