THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Not long after the release of Girls’ second album Father, Son, Holy Ghost, singer and frontman Christopher Owens announced that he was leaving the formative indie duo in pursuit of a solo career. Following the solo releases of 2011’s Lysandre, 2014’s A New Testament, and 2015’s Chrissybaby Forever, he eventually went on to release more music in 2017 with Curls.
Since then, he’s continued to lead a life marked by both extraordinary highs and profound lows. In 2024, after losing his bandmate, getting into a motorcycle accident, and bouts of homelessness, he left San Francisco for N.Y.C., also reuniting with label True Panther Records (who released the original Girls records). Now he has released his latest solo album, I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair, a record “about a journey back to the center of myself.”
