Christopher Owens is well versed in the school of guitar drenched self pity of the Big Star / Elliott Smith / Repcements branch of the tree from his Girls days. On the exquisitely named I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair he shows he's still as good as it gets in terms of his particular artform.
Every song is a variation of this melodic wisrfulness. The sound of the human heart breaking in different but essentially the same way. Why would you want to be with him when you could be with me. In the words of the man himself : 'You know what, life isn't fair.' Forever seventeen.
