The wait is over! Today Mike Kinsella has released an album under his acoustic moniker Owen entitled Other People's Songs. Aptly named, the album is a collection of eight covers that Kinsella recorded this spring in Chicago with trusted producer Neil Strauch.

At first glance, the list of the rock and punk artists whose tracks Kinsella tackled -- among them Against Me!, Depeche Mode, The Promise Ring, and Lungfish -- might seem at odds with the often quieter, lushly arranged music he releases under the Owen moniker.

But upon closer inspection, one finds the kind of excellent songwriting and lyrical wit that are hallmarks of Kinsella's own recorded output.

Consider Other People's Songs to be Kinsella's carefully curated mixtape of songs he loves then and now, from him to you. All that's left to do is push play.

There are still a few copies of the "early bird" cream vinyl (limited to 800) available through our E-store. You can purchase or stream at a plethora of digital outlets including Polyvinyl's Estore (CD, LP, Tape, MP3) / iTunes / Amazon Music / Bandcamp / Spotify / Rdio, and of course you can go the extra mile and support a local record store.

12/10 - San Francisco, CA @ Bottom of the Hill

01/03 - Chicago, IL @ Schubas (10 Year Celebration of ‘I Do Perceive & (the ep) w/ special guests: Tim Kinsella & Victor Villarreal)
