Over the last several years, San Francisco's Girls have been one of my favorite acts. With two albums -- Album and the unbelievable Father, Son, Holy Ghost -- and the Broken Dreams Club EP to their credit, Girls melded the sounds of Elvis Costello, The Beach Boys, and even Pink Floyd to produce a small catalog that I'm sure will be viewed as essential for years to come.
Christopher Owens announced via his Twitter feed today that he is leaving the band he formed with Chet "JR" White, saying his "reasons at this time are personal." He promises to continue making music, but it remains to be seen what form that will take.
For now, join me in a tiny bit of mourning for the loss of what Owens and White produced together and in hoping that everything works out for both of them.
