On the brink of his second solo album release, it is a sentence that brings matters back down to earth. \u201cI\u2019m in my thirties now and I\u2019ve lived a lot of different lives. To do what I\u2019m doing, you really have to believe in it, and in yourself. Of course, you get bad reviews along the way, you have tours that are stressful and all kinds of other setbacks. The only reason I\u2019m still doing this with all my heart is that I believe in the songs. I really do love them. I\u2019m probably my own biggest fan, as cheesy as that sounds. I love listening to all my records.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s true that Owens has experienced much more than your average band member, certainly far more than your average person. Born into the Children Of God cult (later known as The Family International), Owens lived a nomadic lifestyle growing up, moving with his mother from country to country across central and northern Europe, an experience which must have suitably prepared him for a life on the road. \u201cOne of my favourite things about touring is getting to see new cities and revisit the places I lived when I was growing up,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the cult\u2019s strict beliefs, modern pop music was largely absent from Owens\u2019s life until a very late age and perhaps this explains the singer\u2019s more traditional songwriting approach. \u201cI\u2019ve never felt like I\u2019m reinventing the wheel. I\u2019ve never pretended to be doing anything particularly new,\u201d Owens remarks, with a pang of humility. \u201cInstead, I\u2019m trying to be part of something that I really love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Owens\u2019s new album\u00a0A New Testament\u00a0is a hybrid of country, gospel and R&amp;B \u2013 genres and sounds hinted at but not fully explored in his previous records. But what could very easily come across as cluttered instead flows rather fluidly, as swelling organs run into sublime harmonies and pedal steel guitars. Blending the cornerstones of quintessential American music, it is perhaps Owens\u2019s own voice and unique style that holds everything together. At once personal and universal, Owens has a clear talent for expressing the heart\u2019s most common flutterings in a way that is deeply penetrating. But while he is more commonly known for his wistfulness, this new LP is perhaps the musician\u2019s brightest to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t exactly go into this record thinking, \u2018Hey, let\u2019s make an upbeat record!\u2019 But it seems to have worked out that way of its own accord,\u201d Owens explains. \u201cIt\u2019s nice that it\u2019s turned out like this, but I\u2019m as surprised as anybody else. It does at least feel in sync with where I\u2019m currently at. Maybe my subconscious chose to make a more optimistic record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Christopher-Owens-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38155\" alt=\"Christopher Owens  3\" src=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Christopher-Owens-3.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p ><em>Christopher wears Shearling lined coat by Maison Martin Margiela, brown Cord Utility Shirt and brown cord trousers, both by Lou Dalton, white Superstar II Trainers by Adidas Originals<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Despite his newfound lust for life, Owens\u2019s formative and early adult years were as turbulent as his childhood. Leaving both his family and the cult, he moved to Texas and worked in a series of dead-end jobs before meeting Stanley Marsh, an eccentric artist, mentor and benefactor, who encouraged his budding artistic talent (Owens was interested in painting at the time). Relocating once more to San Francisco where he still resides, he soon found himself immersed in the local music scene\u00a0and \u2013 like many raised in a highly controlled environment \u2013 the world of drugs. Much of the Girls back catalogue makes clear allusions to Owens\u2019s increasing drug use, with their first record in particular depicting the ups and comedowns of substance abuse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>When Girls announced their split in 2012 \u2013 less than 12 months after the release of Owens\u2019s most loved record to date,\u00a0Father, Son, Holy Ghost\u00a0\u2013 many assumed it to be the result of some self- destructive tendency, be it in-fighting or addiction. Instead, the reasons were purely pragmatic. Since their inception two and a half years before, Girls had seen 22 members come and go. Now Owens seems to relish the freedom that comes with being a solo artist, with his creative whims ready to be fully explored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGirls was often presented as a band when there wasn\u2019t really a band behind it,\u201d Owens says. \u201cWe had so many members come and go, often not feeling part of the group\u2019s core when they joined. Now I have people more inclined to dedicate a year of their lives to working with me on a record. I can assemble an album and band and then look forward to the next thing.\u201d Despite his somewhat laid-back and aloof posturing, Owens undoubtedly exudes the air of an artist who has it all mapped out. He says that he\u2019s already got a clear idea of his next three records, although this could all change. At home, Owens\u2019s laptop contains a folder with lyrics to over 100 as-yet unreleased songs, from which he assembles many of his records, including\u00a0A New Testament.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Christopher-Owens-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38154\" alt=\"Christopher Owens 2\" src=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Christopher-Owens-2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p ><em>Christopher wears blue striped crew neck sweater by Louis Vuitton and distressed black denim jeans by Dolce &amp; Gabbana.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome songs I can\u2019t get off my mind from the first day I come up with them and others I kind of forget I\u2019ve even written until I stumble upon them again. To be able to leave songs for a few years and for them to still be interesting to me really shows their strength, I think. The important point is that I only ever write songs in genuine moments, I never force myself to write things. So I can always relate back to what I was feeling at the time.\u201d Last year saw Owens release his solo debut\u00a0Lysandre\u00a0to a tepid critical response. After three lauded records from Girls, such a stumbling block would knock the confidence out of many, but for Owens it simply reinforced the importance of self-belief. \u201cIt forced me to question where I stood on the record,\u201d Owens adds. \u201cBut I absolutely love it and still enjoy listening to it to this day. I guess the whole situation forced me to gain a thicker skin and think, \u2018Maybe my solo records won\u2019t be as liked as my previous albums\u2019. But at least I\u2019m happy with what I\u2019m doing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A New Testament\u00a0certainly seems to be a perfect gauge of where Owens is at right now. It sees him expand upon elements from his earlier career but with much tighter, more mature songwriting. His solo venture has also solidified his singularity in modern music: there\u2019s simply no other person offering material as heartfelt, diverse and uncompromising as he is at the moment. Having recently weaned himself off drugs, Owens now appears poised to follow whatever path his boundless creativity takes him down. If his history tells us anything, it\u2019s unlikely to be a smooth journey. But it will certainly be one worth following.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Christopher-Owens-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38151\" alt=\"Christopher Owens 4\" src=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Christopher-Owens-4.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p ><em>Christopher wear red and blue zebra print shirt in technical fabric by Lanvin, white cotton jersey fisherman stitch vest by Burberry Prorsum, jeans model&#8217;s own.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k6Zi_CYGm8s\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For Christopher Owens news head to:\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christopherowensonline.com\/  \">christopherowensonline.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video:<\/strong> Greg Barnes @clingfilms<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photography:\u00a0<\/strong> Liam Warwick<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fashion Editor:\u00a0<\/strong> Gary Armstrong<\/p>\n<p><strong>Words:\u00a0<\/strong>Luke Morgan Britton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With\u00a0A New Testament, Christopher Owens continues his reign as indie\u2019s heart-melting San Franciscan savant.
