Christopher Owens 2015. Cred Hannah Hunt.

Former Girls frontman Christopher Owens announced today that his new album Chrissybaby Forever both exists and is available to stream and purchase at his Bandcamp page. Owen’s said on his website that the new album—which will receive an official release on June 2 on Turnstile—is his “first album to record alone with a friend engineering since [Girls’ debut LP] Album.”

Last week, Owens tweeted the link to a track from the new album “Selfish Feelings.” Chrissbaby Forever, which presumably takes its title from Owens’s twitter handle @Chri55yBaby, is his third solo record, following last year’s A New Testament.

Owens has also announced a tour in support of the new album. See the full list of dates below, along with the album’s artwork and familiarly lovelorn, sad sack tracklist.
