Ghost Town, Owen's 2011 album, marked a significant shift toward electronic music and drum programming, incorporating elements of genres like dubstep and witch house into his established indie-rock sound.
- The album was recorded by Tim Isler at Infinite Energy Studios in Chicago, with Kinsella self-producing.
- Ghost Town was released on November 8, 2011, by Polyvinyl Records.
- The album was noted for its experimental production and departure from Owen's previous acoustic-driven work.
Owen is the stage name of singer-songwriter Mike Kinsella, a fixture of the Chicago emo and indie rock scene since the early 1990s. In 2011, Owen had been releasing solo material for over a decade, with a catalog that balanced intricate acoustic arrangements with electronic experimentation.
