Christopher Owens – Nothing More Than Everything To Me
I’ll admit to being slightly underwhelmed by Christopher Owens’ debut solo album, Lysandre, released a year and a half ago after his disbanding of the amazing band Girls. Yeah, it had its standout moments (“New York City” being my favorite),…
Christopher Owens’ new album, Lysandre (and a giveaway)
“Don’t try to get me down. Don’t try to harsh my mellow, man!” Because after multiple listens over the last 24 hours, the short & sweet Lysandre album, brand new from former Girls frontman Christopher Owens, is doing the trick.…
Pete’s Music Highlights: My Top 12 of 2012
I’ve been as quiet here on Ickmusic as I ever have during its eight year run. Worry not, nothing (outside of my family) has taken a back seat to music in my life. It still fuels everything I do. But…
