Mike Kinsella has been busy. In the last two years, he went from playing in AMERICAN FOOTBALL to writing and recording solo as OWEN, as well as touring on Rainer Maria and Kyle Fischer's last four tours. Owen has been a logical leap for Mike, as he was the singer/songwriter in American Football and spent years in bands such as Cap'n Jazz, Joan of Arc, and Owls. This album is a beautiful continuation of the work he did on last year's self-titled debut, which was met with much critical success, including a slew of reviews such as "...utterly superb. This is what Coldplay and Travis want to be, but just can't manage. 5/5." - Atomtan.uk.
