Owen - Near and Far

A Split EP with The Rutabega, here are the three songs by Owen including Mike Kinsella's solo version of the American Football track "Never Meant" - possibly the greatest song ever written. There's some good YouTube footage of him being unable to play the song at a gig somewhere. Bless. His new album "Ghost Town" is just out and it's as beautiful and heartfelt as ever. Either he's had more devastating break-ups than anyone else known to man or an unnatural amount of empathy towards those that have. He should come and play in the UK more often.
