The Falls of Sioux is the eleventh studio album by American musician Mike Kinsella, under the solo project Owen. It was released on April 26, 2024, under Polyvinyl Record Co.
Reception
The album received a 4/5 rating from Dork, which called it "a masterclass in restraint, storytelling and embracing ennui." In a four-star review for AllMusic, Marcy Donelson referred to it as "a subtly more adventurous album," noting it "finds Kinsella's perspectives continuing to slightly shift with middle age, with his typically dry humor creeping less acerbically into his weary tales of ill-fated relationships, alcoholism, self-destructiveness, and regret." Sputnikmusic noted it as "a lovely little indie folk album," referencing its "cinematic production and chiming guitars."
