Girls was definitive of the alt-rock, Pitchfork-dominated, early 2010s era of indie music. Their debut Album peaked at Billboard #136. After Girls, Christopher Owens remains a heavily respected musician/songwriter/producer alongside giants like Tobias Jesso Jr, Ariel Rechtshaid, Jacob Portrait.
Long out of print, these reissues are coming alongside the new studio album from Christopher Owens, one half of Girls
Album
Built on the powerful songwriting of Christopher Owens and ethereal production of Chet JR White, Girls recorded Album in a mix of bedrooms and studios in their adopted hometown of San Francisco. The resulting 12 tracks evoke a narcotic, sunny afternoon in Dolores Park, yet promising the eventual hangover of summer;s departure. Album is self-described as honest, loose, ethereal, obnoxious, perfect. It’s a sincere tribute to the majesty of great pop music and healing power of rock and roll.
Broken Hearts Club
Named in Pitchfork’s “200 Most Important Artists of the Last 25 Years," the San Franciscan songwriting duo Girls imparted a massive sonic shift on their last 2010 EP Broken Dreams Club, before breaking up in 2012.
The band emerged with a more massive, lusher sound with horns, pedal steel, and psychedelic effects throughout. Upon its release, Christopher Owens described the exuberant six songs as a “letter of intent,” “snapshot of the horizon,” and “step up” from its stunning predecessor Album.
Father, Son, Holy Ghost
The long-awaited second full-length from San Francisco band Girls is spontaneous and stripped-down in a gorgeous, largely minor-key record. Father, Son, Holy Ghost is enlivened by flashes of innocent pop and given depth by its wealth of influences and will to face sadness. Peaking at Billboard #37 after its release in 2011 and claiming #82 on Pitchfork’s “200 Best Albums of the 2010s,” Father, Son, Holy Ghost both comes alive and cements its legacy with the timbre of Christopher Owen’s voice.
