Christopher Owens: “This Is My Guitar”

Let’s stop talking about Girls now. Let’s move on from that fleeting dream of an indie rock band. Let’s turn the page. Let’s focus on the solo releases that singer and guitarist Christopher Owens has released since then.

In particular, our highlighted track “This Is My Guitar,” which communicates an idea as flat as a pancake. Few musicians could turn what feels like a gag song title into a poignant statement about trying to live a loving life of beautiful and honest simplicity despite the rat’s nest of modern terrors we face every day. Owens can.

A worthy companion to the desultory perfection of Girls’ Album. Oh shit, I’m doing it again. Off I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair. Via True Panther.
