Owen Takes Off His [Final Fantasy] Shirt (Herald 4.19.10)
It’s bigger, lyrically over-the-top in a kind of William Blake and Faulkner way, and rearranges all kinds of pop and pop-orchestral tropes in cool ways that lock into solid ground after a few listens.

Lightning Bolt shows in Polish social clubs, a tough-to-read and obnoxiously lo-fi website, marathon shows of ten-minute acoustic sets in the middle of the night at SXSW — it’s all part of his plan to get people way outside their comfort zones.
