Owen Releases New Singles, "Virtue Misspent", "Hit and Run"

Owen (aka Mike Kinsella) has released two new singles, “Virtue Misspent” and “Hit and Run”. Both tracks comes from Owen’s forthcoming album, The Falls of Sioux, which is set to be released on April 26th via Polyvinyl Record Co. The album was co-produced by Sean Carey (Bon Iver) and Zach Hanson (Bon Iver, Low, Waxahatchee).

In a press release, Kinsella stated the following:

“‘Virtue Misspent’ is an homage to one of my all-time favorite bands, New Order. The guitar part always sounded to me like a Peter Hook bassline, so I sort of leaned into that in the studio by adding synth strings and plugging the electric guitar straight into the board, etc. The video is an homage to me, having lived a life and having fucked up a lot along the way.”

On “Hit and Run”:
“There’s usually one song on each of my ow(e)n albums that makes me cry,” he shares, “and this is the one this time.”
