Owen | I Do Perceive | New Album Out Today

Owen's I Do Perceive on Polyvinyl Records

Download She's a Thief (mp3) and check out Owen's new album, "I Do Perceive," today.

All Music Guide is better at reviews than me, so here it is:

'I do perceive. is the full-length follow-up to May 2004's (the ep and continues the new collaborative direction Mike Kinsella has been taking with Owen. This time, Cousin Nate Kinsella (Make Believe, Joan of Arc) lends assistance both on instrumentation and engineering, helping to create eight gorgeous cuts that are above and beyond anything Owen has done before.

I do perceive. differentiates itself from previous Owen releases. While the poetic songwriting and intricate musicianship remain, upbeat arrangements accompany each song's development culminating in an effect that is both majestic and wonderful.'

He's compared to to Onelinedrawing, Mark Kozelek, Elliot Smith, and The New Amsterdams.

Owen is playing Maxwell's in NJ on December 19th with Despistado and a whole bunch of others.

For one day only (maybe longer): download Who Found Out Who's Hair in Who's Bed? (mp3) from this site. (GET IT QUICK!)
