Title: Mike Kinsella does it Again
Review: Mike Kinsella has been making waves since the days of drumming for Joan of Arc with brother Tim, but since forging out on his own with projects such as Owls and American Football, one would have high standards for Kinsella's new solo project Owen. The definition of this solo recorded CD takes on a new meaning, here it means that Kinsella wrote and played the music for every instrument, and also recorded and produced the entire CD by himself. Songs that rank the highest among the CD include 'Dead Men Don't Lie', or the two part song (which he does a few times on this album) 'Places to Go' leading into 'Think About It'. Although many critics are claiming Owen to be what American Football would sound like today had they not disbanded, yet Owen's sound is not as jazz-orientated as American Football, and therefore truley takes on a sound of its own. If you're looking for melodic acoustic guitaring and melancholy, sweet sounding singing, look no further than Owen.
