Objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear Except for you, my dear I should've known... I can't confess and hold my breath at the same time And I won't feel human until I feel you again Objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear Except for you, my dear I should've known… You don't have to stay You don't have to confide in me I already wrote your diary Objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear But to who, my dear? I should've known… I should've known… #Owen #IShouldveKnown #TheAvalanche © 2020 Polyvinyl Record Co.

OWEN SHARES MUSIC VIDEO FOR “I SHOULD’VE KNOWN” FROM THE NEW ALBUM THE AVALANCHE OUT NOW ON POLYVINYL RECORD CO. Owen is pleased to share the music video for “I Should’ve Known”, from this year’s new album The Avalanche, the latest entry in the long-running solo efforts of American Football’s Mike Kinsella, out now on Polyvinyl Record Co. The record won praise from Pitchfork as Kinsella’s “most objectively gorgeous record as Owen,” and AV Club deemed the album “some of the outfit’s most immersive storytelling to date.” The video for “I Should’ve Known” was directed by long time visual collaborator Chris Strong who says “the video is about a relationship dissolving,” with an opening shot showing the character in the process of moving out and leaving his former home. The shoes featured in the imagery “are meant to represent the memory and spirit of that former life.” Watch the music video for “I Should’ve Known” Order The Avalanche from Polyvinyl Record Co. “I’m always so excited to work with Chris Strong,” says Kinsella, “because I feel like he effortlessly succeeds at visually accomplishing what I’m always trying so hard to accomplish with my music. Whatever the tone - whether it be poignant, or irreverent, or earnest, or self-reflexive - it’s always draped in beauty. It’s undeniably aesthetically pleasing.” The Avalanche was recorded with producer Sean Carey (Bon Iver, Peter Gabriel) and engineer Zach Hanson (The Tallest Man On Earth, Waxahatchee). The album takes on a new refinement, with spacious musical landscapes making room for devastating lyrics that return to themes of an unravelling marriage and big endings. On previous albums, sarcasm and wry humor would dull the sting of heavier lyrics. Here there are still traces of Kinsella’s trademark humor, but instead of offering a winking dismissal of negative thoughts, it takes the songs to even darker places. Easily the most intense Owen album, The Avalanche is also the most beautifully crafted. Kinsella goes deeper than ever before, with self-reflection so painfully blunt it’s sometimes difficult to look at head on. It’s a guided walk through one of life’s more difficult chapters, resulting in nine of the best Owen songs ever penned and an album that’s as heartbreaking as it is magnificent.   www.owenmusic.com Photo Credit: Chris Strong Upcoming Tour Dates: 04/21 - Leeds, UK @ Brudenell Social Club 04/22 - Glasgow, UK @ The Hug and Pint 04/23 - Birmingham, UK @ Actress & Bishop 04/24 - London, UK @ Union Chapel 04/25 - Amsterdam, Netherlands @ Melkweg 04/27 - Koln, Germany @ Stereo Wonderland 04/28 - Berlin, Germany @ Badehaus 04/30 - Moscow, Russia @ Punk Fiction 05/01 - St. Petersburg, Russia @ The Place Club
