Re; Chettie:

You either don’t know much about music or just like to seem pretentious and act like you’re smarter than people with different tastes than yours. The man tears up the electric violin with speed and technique. He accompanies himself by recording the different parts on a loop pedal, with abstract lyrics and psychadelic influences. He is a one man band all at once playing several parts. Calling him “run of the mill” is completely absurd. It takes an insane amount of talent and originality to do what he does.

If you don’t like it, that’s fair, just say it’s not your thing. I will never understand the impulse of internet trolls to go around seeking out people with different taste than your own, for the specific purpose of telling them their taste is wrong in order to pretend to be the smartest little boy in the room. How tiresome.

I think its great music for people who haven’t yet been blown away by Van Dyke Parks or Arthur Russell.
That being said, it does SOUND incredible. (Production-wise) For that you must give credit to Rusty Santos, singer of the band The Present and Animal Collective producer.

after checking out his music on this recommendation, i would have to say it is bollocks. the above posts must have been written by owen himself or his PR folks, because the music is as run of the mill as any so-called independent “musician”

@James I couldn’t agree more. He is the only performer I have ever seen twice.

@Joshua Isn’t that the point?

Yeah I pretty much want to marry him. I was going to see him in Vancouver a few months ago but he was sick, it would’ve been an amazing show though.

I have been listening to this for weeks and cannot stop. He is an insane talent. Once you listen to this you may forget every other piece of music you own.
