about
Aug 13, 2021: Knock Knock, the second studio album by (Eli)zabeth Owens (they/them), is an ambitious and exhilarating departure from the psychedelic folk-rock sounds they’ve come to be known for. Showcasing an eclectic mix of electronic samples, experimental production and complex vocal layering atop lush arrangements of harp, piano and lead guitar, this avant-garde baroque-pop roller coaster makes for an intense and captivating listen.
Conceptually, Knock Knock is a continuation of Owens' "Coming of Age" saga. Told in three acts, the record explores themes of sobriety, ego deconstruction, and spiritual materialism.
After escaping the Tower of Forgetting and reaching the edge of the broken kingdom in Coming of Age, our young hero(ine) now faces the mountains ahead. Countless grueling attempts at scaling the beast later, they find themselves bruised and alone at the bottom of the rocks. While searching fruitlessly for a way around the merciless ridge, our hero discovers a different route: through. The digging begins.
Bio: English-born artist Elizabeth Owens has always held music close to their heart. Ten years of classical training in piano, voice, and guitar coupled with their experience in production & sound design makes Owens' genre-fluid blend of electro-baroque art-pop both classic and fresh.
After pursuing degrees in both Filmmaking & Psychology in Richmond, Virginia, Owens decided to focus their efforts on music production & education in 2014. Since then, they have been forging a path of relentless self-discovery and aural storytelling through such unique releases as Growing Pain and Coming of Age.
