Christopher Owens true songwriting genius has always felt like a bit of dormant volcano, a sleeping melancholic indie pop giant just waiting to come alive again. 'I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair' seems to be the reawakneing, back home on True Panther and with a more assured sense of self. All three singles sound like the kind of perfect happy sad indie that make you feel like a misunderstood teenager again. 

I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair is the third solo album by Christopher Owens, ex-frontman of seminal indie rock band Girls (Father, Son, Holy Ghost peaked at #37 on Billboard). After losing his bandmate, getting into a motorcycle accident, and bouts of homelessness, he left San Francisco for NYC and returned to Girls’ home label True Panther. Inspired by life (and love) to write music again, Owens is finally ready to share IWRBTYH, a record about his journey back to the center of himself.

Sonically closer to the Girls discography (Father, Son, Holy Ghost in particular) than his previous solo material, IWRBTYH is the melancholic yet hopeful, instantly classic sound to satiate Girls fans, old & new (like Boygenius). FFO: Girls, Boygenius, Big Thief, Mac Demarco

Girls was definitive of the alt-rock, Pitchfork-dominated, early 2010s era of indie music. Their debut "Album" peaked at Billboard #136. After Girls, Christopher Owens remains a prolific musician/songwriter/producer alongside giants like Tobias Jesso Jr, Ariel Rechtshaid, Jacob Portrait, etc.
