Owen Unleashes the Sonic Elegance of New Singles ‘Virtue Misspent’ & ‘Hit and Run’

Indie music enthusiasts, gather around, as something uniquely seraphic this way comes. Mike Kinsella, renowned for his work with American Football and known to the world by his solo moniker, Owen, has graced the airwaves with two new mesmerizing singles, ‘Virtue Misspent’ and ‘Hit and Run’, from his forthcoming opus ‘The Falls of Sioux’.
Set to captivate listeners on 26th April via Big Scary Monsters, these tracks invite us to the depth of indie folk prowess and evoke a distinct 80s alternative nostalgia. Notably, ‘Virtue Misspent’ wears its heart on its sleeve, an eloquent nod to Kinsella’s beloved group, New Order. The track’s essence captures a Peter Hook-style bassline and flourishes with synth strings, producing a soundscape that is both evocative and freshly innovative.
On the flip side, ‘Hit and Run’ manifests as the tearjerker of the album. In Kinsella’s own words, every album has its emotional apex, and this song is the heartwrencher this time around. Delicate yet powerful, this track is set to stir the souls of listeners with its profound lyrical storytelling and riveting musicality.
