Mike Kinsella's solo Owen project is back, sharing new singles "Hit and Run" and "Virtue Misspent" today. Both songs will appea ron The Falls of Sioux, out April 26 on Polyvinyl Record Co.
“‘Virtue Misspent’ is an homage to one of my all-time favorite bands, New Order,” Kinsella explains. “The guitar part always sounded to me like a Peter Hook bassline, so I sort of leaned into that in the studio by adding synth strings and plugging the electric guitar straight into the board, etc."
Speaking of "Hit and Run," he adds, “There’s usually one song on each of my ow(e)n albums that makes me cry...and this is the one this time.”
Owen last released The Avalanche in 2020.
