(2021) Owen – Live at the Lexington: The Complete Collection  


Review:
Owen is the solo project of Chicago’s Mike Kinsella. As a departure from over a decade of work playing in a variety of bands – Cap’n Jazz, American Football, Owls and Their / They’re / There to name a few – Owen became Kinsella’s way of finally exercising complete creative control over all aspects of a project, including songwriting, recording, and overall artistic direction. Owen’s musical output as evolved from sparse acoustic offerings to lush, string-filled arrangements. Kinsella often exposes family relationships and personal experiences with lyrics that are at times clever, witty, raw, and biting. The last time Owen (Mike Kinsella) hit UK shores in November 2019, he played a sold-out show at the much-loved venue The Lexington, London where we were lucky enough to record some tracks for the occasion. The result is Live at the Lexington (The Complete Collection), featuring a handful of beautiful tracks from that.
