Christopher Owens - 'Lysandre'

Christopher OwensLysandre Fat Possum The first solo album by Christopher Owens post-Girls, Lysandre, is anything but expected. There are extended saxophone solos, a Belle & Sebastian-like track (“Here We Go Again”), and plenty of flute and guitar throughout. The musical variation is held together by the through line story. Each track explores specific events in the life of his autobiographical character. A highlight is the personal “Love is in the Ear of the Listener.” Owens’ offers a look into his musical psyche and provides an optimistic perspective about his inner struggles. —Lauren Levitt[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/3356445" params="" width=" 100%" height="450" iframe="true" /]
