The theme is first heard in the aptly titled \u201cLysandre\u2019s Theme\u201d and it is then heard in some way, shape or form throughout the rest of the songs on the album. While that may be good for people who like the theme, I can see how it could be annoying if you\u2019re not a fan because there\u2019s no escaping it. Luckily, I enjoyed it and I think it works best in songs like \u201cHere We Go\u201d and \u201cHere We Go Again\u201d because it makes the album sound like a cohesive unit. Most of the tracks have this underlying theme of romantic pining and you can feel the pain in the vocals of Owens. This can especially be heard in my favorite track \u201cLove is in the Ear of the Listener\u201d about the subjectivity of music and love. I would recommend this album but if you\u2019re expecting something in the vein of Girls you might be disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Think: <\/b>Concept albums about pining for lost love.<br \/>\n<b style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">REC: 7, 2, 5<br \/>\n<\/b><b style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">FCC: <\/b>None<br \/>\n<b style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Label:<\/b> Fat Possum<br \/>\n<b style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Release Date:<\/b><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"> January 15, 2013<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em> Jake Waters reviewed this album on January 24, 2012<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girls front man&#8217;s solo debut proves different<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":19830,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/artworks-000032840035-chbhrf-crop3.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/128"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
