Some Praise for Lysandre:

"
The 33-year-old San Francisco songwriter (is) one of the most open and honest and best of his generation." - Pitchfork

"It's a deeply considered concept project instead of a collection of singles… the album by turns can feel foreboding, joyous, full of possibility or unbearably melancholic… His body of work thus far is significant and increasingly varied, as is his profile. No longer a local kid with a band and backstory, Owens can hold his own against international all-stars…" - The Fader



"Owens sings in a big-hearted croon, as the instrumentation builds into a wall of sound composed of finger-picked acoustics, angelic harmonies, jazzy flute runs, half-sighed harmonica, a psych-fuzz solo and bass tat purrs like a kitten. Owens has never sounded this free-spirited, and based on the musicality, this grown-up Girl should have no trouble flourishing on his own." - Billboard
“ … almost a coronation, proving to fans that Owens can be just as powerful and moving without the Girls moniker.” – Rolling Stone

“Not quite a pure pop song... It’s as melodramatic as a scene from a 1970s movie version of a Shakespeare play, yet as genuine as every other contribution he’s made to the general psyche of his teen and teen-at-heart fanbase.” – V  Magazine
“The magic of Owens is his capacity to mould his tales of heartbreak and despair into consistently flawless pop songs…” – NME
“His gentle, earnest crooning is the album’s backbone, enhanced by the addition of sweet backup vocals, saxophone, flute, harmonica, bass, guitar, keyboard and drums. Owens is a songwriter first and foremost, and he has shown, that despite a different sound that’s still his greatest talent.” – Stereogum
“Owens has never had a problem being forthright, and the songs on Lysandre find him as confessional and straightforward as ever… Lysandre felt totally of a piece, thematically and sonically, with that indelible melody weaving through nearly every song.” -  SF Weekly
