A delicate set of bittersweet ballads,ethereal tone poems and snippets of sound woven together to flow seamlesslyfrom beginning to end...demonstrates a fragile finesse that's beautiful andbeguiling.

Kinsella's first crack at a solo albumis beautiful. Laid-back, finely polished, with enough dirt under the nails andrough edges to keep the poignancy alive and well...It will melt yoursoul.

Absolutely stunning.

Kinsella is adept at creating these littlegems of tunes that seem at once fragile and comforting. This is a solidalbum...obviously well crafted and constructed.

Owenis a gorgeous piece of work.

The music vibrates with simmering, suppressedpassion and has the orchestral sweep of a grand and tragic epic. Songs becomeintimate soundscapes that chart the convoluted geography of the heart. It'smusic that's resonant, cathartic, and embracing.

Utterly superb. This is what Coldplay and Travis want to be, but just can't manage.

Acoustic songs, vibrant restrainedsongs-far more beautiful than the finest moments Elliott Smith or JeffBuckley...Owen is an importantalbum to share with the important people in your life...a treasure.
