I think Christopher Owens‘ departure from Girls caught everyone a bit off guard. The band had enjoyed substantial hype over the past few years, and the music they continued to put out kept increasing in quality.

You can’t create so many heartfelt, personal songs in such a short period of time and just cut away that element of your life. Read More »Christopher Owens: Lysandre’s Theme / Here We Go
