Owen - The Falls of Sioux (April 26, 2024) • Page 2

Two?!??

 

Sipping my coffee and listening to two new Owen songs, today is a good day.

 

Yes, I truly needed to hate myself more today.

 

I told myself I would wait… gah can’t lol

 

Virtue Misspent is a true thing of beauty. Wow.

 

Haven’t been super excited for an Owen release in a while, but wow Virtue Misspent gave me all the feels.

 

I’m not 100% clicking with these two new ones but they are indeed beautiful and the album will be a knockout

 

I need to give these a couple more listens, enjoying the more lush production and the first single is still next level Owen so I assume these will grow

 

is there a tracklist for this release already? I saw on his insta he called those songs sort of like "bookends" thematically, and I'm not sure where are they put on the album (I usually try to avoid hearing openers and closers beforehand on albums I care for ;d)

 

Thanks! I'll check out the music video too asap, and I'll wait with the rest

 

Holy fucking shit

 

I need to brush up on Owen songs before Thursday.

 

Beacoup might be one of my favorite Owen songs of all time. Giving the album a NZ listen now.

 

It's good. I think this is the closest to earlier Owen he's gotten in a while.

 

I should probably listen before the show tonight too.

 

It's why I listened. I don't know how much he'll play tonight but wanted to have some context.

 

I found out my friend from New York who I had no idea was in town is coming to the show tonight so if anyone going sees a guy hanging with a guy in a wheelchair (my friend) come say hi!

 

Your friend is a wheelchair and there's gonna be a guy in it???

 

Beautifully sounding record, I already have my highlights after the first listen on headphones

 

I think I saw you!

 

Love the production on here, can’t wait to let this one grow. Halfway through and no misses yet (Virtue Misspent isn’t my favorite but still a good song)

 

Fun show tonight! I got to meet Mike again (I’ve met him a few times before)

 

Great album, to my ears a bit different sounding in writing and production than his last few, honestly almost a little too lush and layered at points for what I used to think of as an Owen album - but some really great tunes and moments within tunes. I really enjoy Mount Cleverest

 

I’m glad he added a more lush atmosphere surrounding it, that along with some of the riffs makes this sound like more of a departure from the signature Owen sound, which I love deeply but I’m happy to have something so different (that’s how I’m feeling after only one full listen). Also am I crazy for getting some Alice In Chains vibes on this ? Thought it at first when I heard Beaucoup, couple other riffs/progressions give me that vibe too
