Christopher Owens Releases Surprise Album Chrissybaby Forever

Former Girls frontman and songwriter Christopher Owens released the song "Selfish Feelings" via a tweet last week, saying the track was off a "forthcoming album." On May 27, he surprise-released that album, titled Chrissybaby Forever. The 16-track solo album, recorded in San Francisco at Decibel Studio, was co-produced, engineered, and mixed by JJ Wiesler.

It's not the first time Owens has surprised the music world. His departure from Girls in 2012 was a shock to many, including Pitchfork.

Owens had a unique upbringing, raised as a member of Children of God, a traveling religious community (aka cult). The group's reluctance to seek professional medical attention led to the pneumonia-related death of Owen's infant brother, Steven.

You can stream the new album below. "Heroine (Got Nothing on You)" is the standout track.

  • Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
