Owen’s covers album Other People’s Songs is out next Tuesday, December 2 via Polyvinyl Records. This week The AV Club is streaming the album in full ahead of release date for any music lovers looking for the perfect soundtrack to baste the turkey to, or perhaps a temporary respite from the wondrous sound of your aunt and uncle loudly arguing about Obamacare over the din of a football beer commercial.
Stream Other People’s Songs in full via The AV Club
Other People’s Songs features selections from artists including Against Me!, Depeche Mode, The Promise Ring, Lungfish, and more, all recorded this spring in Chicago with trusted producer Neil Strauch. With the help of female vocalist Sarah Mitchell, as well as occasional touches of violin and cello, Owen (Mike Kinsella) transforms each selection in unique and surprising ways.
