Dean Owens - Sinner's Shrine

Facts Long awaited, much anticipated release by Dean Owens, recorded at WaveLab Studios (Tucson AZ) with musicians from iconic desert noir/Latin rockers, Calexico. Sinner's Shrine is the latest stop on a lifetime's journey - from the post industrial heartlands of Scotland to the untrammelled wide-open vistas of the American Southwest - as Dean surrenders to the intoxicating sounds of the US desert states, an area which has long captured his heart. Themes of love and lust, sinners and saints, the displaced, the wanderers and the border ghosts run through the album (Owens' 8th (official) solo release) like the desert sands. Beautifully packaged in a 6 panel, gatefold digipak. Design by James Morrison with stunning original illustrations by Luisa Carmela Casasanta.
