about

Spencer Owen Timeshare played live between August 2012 and January 2020. PRESENTATION -- the studio recording that is their debut album -- represents this era. Tracked live in studio as a quartet, then overdubbed upon (vocals, alto saxophone, et al.), PRESENTATION's nine (9) tracks comprise a personal/universal overview of burly, sparkling sophistipop.

These memories are now trapped in multi-tracked audio, communicating dryly yet joyously from alternating perspectives -- between ironic distance (Stereolab, Talking Heads) and soulful sincerity (Prince, Van Morrison).

Played on period 20th century instruments with care.
