Christopher Owens continues to forge ahead with his post-Girls life, releasing another new song (previously we heard “It Comes Back To You“) from his forthcoming second solo album. “Nothing More Than Everything To Me” is an unashamedly direct love song, shot through with a classic ’60s influence which all extends into the lovable video too. Directed by Max Minghella (The Social Network), check out the video above.
Christopher Owens’ second solo album A New Testament is due out September 30. Pre-order here and get three tracks immediately.
Read Owens’ thoughts on his new album, the tracklist, and upcoming tour dates below.
“Every new album is a new testament.
It’s a testament to honest, earnest, simple songwriting—“three chords and the truth”, songs inspired by the fundamentals of American music—Gospel, Country, R&B, picking the songs for this record was exciting enough for me, because they’re some of the ones that speak to me the most, of my memories, real life experiences, my battles, my victories. But hearing the record actually take form and come to life was even more exciting than I imagined. The new ground we worked towards—playing with Ed Efira on pedal steel for the first time, all of it was an amazing experience.
This album is nothing if not a testament to the power of music, and to the musicians that made it—John Anderson, Darren Weiss,Makeda—who all helped make Father Son Holy Ghost what it is, Danny Eisenberg—who was introduced to me during the sessions for Broken Dreams Club and played again on Father Son Holy Ghost, this is now our third record together, and I think that’s what shows.
It’s also my third record with Doug Boehm, who’s always made me feel I had the help I needed when I needed it, and the support I needed when I felt strongly about sticking to an idea.
I could go on and on about all of these people—David Sutton, who I met recording Lysandre, just watching him play is such a pleasure. It’s the intensity with which all these musicians approach the songs that makes me so excited and proud to play with them again and again.
And the excitement, the joy, the sincerity, the craftsmanship, it’s all captured on this record. A new testament.”
