In 2022, Mike Kinsella — known for his roles in American Football and Cap’n Jazz — launched LIES, a synthy duo with his cousin Nate. Today, he’s back with his solo project Owen to announce a new album The Falls Of Sioux. “Beaucoup” is out now with a video filmed inside a private Chicago speakeasy.
“I’m not sure if ‘Beaucoup’ is a lusty Love Song or a lovely Lust Song,” Kinsella said in a statement. “Everyone at Weird Life did a great job capturing the seedy side of it, as well as the shimmery / flirty side, visually hitting (and bending) the same note between the notes for the music video.”
The Falls Of Sioux was co-produced by Sean Carey and Zach Hanson, and it has backing vocals from Now, Now’s KC Dalager. Russell Durham composed the string arrangements, Corey Bracken from American Football’s touring band played synths, and other friends served as guests on the LP.
