The song is a tribute to the late iconoclastic musician and kindred spirit Arthur Russell. “He wrote music and stayed true to his vision up until the day he died, ” Owens explains. “He didn’t compromise as an artist, and those are the kind of people I look up to – people who know what they want.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn S\/T Owens translates that self-assertiveness into a record that explores a variety of moods – sadness, anxiety, darkly shaded ecstasy – with a trippy-eyed clarity and confidence that only bodes well for the future. In addition to Avery, who has a co-write credit on Kelly Lee Owens’ ghostly “Keep Walking,” Jenny Hval also appears on the album’s lead single, “Anxi.” It’s a track that shifts from drifting tones and distant vocals to warm squelches and tunnel-vision club beats. “It has been my most freeing and open collaboration so far, and my first time working with a female,” Owens says of working with Hval. “It was a very powerful experience for me, I felt she brought something strange and quite beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS.O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArthur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnxi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLucid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC.B.M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing Lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep Walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Smalltown Supersound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46365497721178,"sku":"","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/products\/kelly-lee-owens-self-titled_f99d3f9a-2e76-43de-af91-fddabbc4f087.jpg?v=1678348748","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/kelly-lee-owens-kelly-lee-owens-cd","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
