RIYL: Hurt and Wry Humor

Label: Polyvinyl Records

Polyvinyl’s Early Bird Edition of Owen‘s newest, The King of Whys, is a cool Red and Yellow sunburst colorway.

Retail variant is Blue and White Sunburst, but let’s get real – the Early Bird Edition is where it’s at!

“Owen – the acclaimed solo musical guise of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Mike Kinsella – has made an astonishing leap forward with The King of Whys, the first work in his two-decade-plus career to be made entirely outside of the greater Chicagoland area.

Produced by S. Carey over 18 days last winter at April Base Studios in Eau Claire, WI, the album is Owen’s most inspired and evocative thus far, interpolating a group dynamic into what has long been an intensely intimate sound.” — Polyvinyl Records
