Owen is a misleading name since it's really just Mike Kinsella from various 90's things you've all heard before. This album is a soundtrack for a quiet afternoon filled with nostalgia and personal memories. The multiple layering of intricate guitar melodies is wide and varied with little in the way of traditional song structures in sight. The lyrics are both well written and deeply emotional, albeit somewhat distant with an air of reminiscence. I would compare this to a cross between Eliot Smith and Nick Drake while avoiding all the terrible connotations to all those people who tried and failed to sound exactly like those two. It's refreshing to hear music that sounds as if it were made simply for the sake of making it.
