Christopher Owens, who used to perform with the late Chet “JR” White under the Girls moniker, has returned with his first solo song in seven years. The sprawling six-minute cut begins with lilting acoustic guitars and a shuffling drum groove, which gives the song an almost-tropical energy.

The single artwork was taken outside of the Wolf’s Lair Castle in Los Angeles, longtime home of the late Shelley Duval, by Owens’ frequent collaborator Sandy Kim.

Check out the single below.
