I really like him, too. Was disappointed to see Girls go to hell, so this pleases me. And yeah, this sound promising.

for some reason i thought Girls was already one of those bands that's essentially a solo act for the guy. this is nice and doesn't sound particularly different.

yeah i'm definitely not mad at it sounding not particularly different

I guess it pretty much seemes like Owens' gig all along.. So maybe not too surprised to see him back already, doing pretty much the same thing. But pleased. You never really know how important the supporting actors are, in getting stuff finished and so forth..

i think it even has some of the Girls band playing on it?

respect if the quitting his own band stunt was just him realizing how terrible a band name 'girls' is and trying to find some way out of it

no disrespect but that seems extremely unlikely

i wasn't actually suggesting that was really what happened

yeah I think he was how highlighting how awkwardly you shoehorned that zing in there...

not a "zing" but w/e

That New York City song is pretty great (if you like saxophones). I was predisposed to despise him, but don't.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7b70IpM6as

What's with that recurring musical theme at the end of practically every song? Is this meant to be like a Roger Waters solo album or something?

i really liked that nyc song, but nothing else on first listen, and hammering home that it's a concept album by playing the same lick at the end of every song is pretty dumb.

I am still digging this record, although I really think it would have worked better as an EP, in that it would have been a better/quicker way to introduce himself as a solo artist. Then he could have released a full on album. But, I am big fan of his, so nevertheless I am interested to see where he goes next.
