[anticipation] Christopher Owens//Lysandre
Back in July, I was quite sad to hear that Christopher Owens was leaving San Francisco indie outfit Girls. Though I wish Girls was simply on a break, I’m very much looking forward to Owens’ debut solo album, Lysandre. Described by Owens as “a coming of age story, a road trip story, a love story,” the record was was written, recorded, and sequenced as a complete narrative, inspired by the events of Girls’ first ever tour in the summer of 2008. Below, you can stream the album’s first two tracks — “Lysandre’s Theme” and “Here We Go”. Lysandre will be available Jan 15th on Fat Possum Records.
Tracklist:
1. Lysandre’s Theme
2. Here We Go
3. New York City
4. A Broken Heart
5. Here We Go Again
6. Riviera Rock
7. Love Is In The Ear Of The Listener
8. Lysandre
9. Everywhere You Knew
10. Closing Theme
11. Part Of Me (Lysandre’s Epilogue)
