...and his fabulous ode to the proverbial "Haunted House."
I first encountered Owen when he was the lead singer (circa 1988) of alt-rockers The Thieves, who made an absolutely sensational album -- Seduced by Money -- that was produced by none other than Marshall Crenshaw. If you can find a copy, grab it immediately; it's a classic. The song above, if I recall, was from the follow up album Phoenix, which I believe Gwil self-released.
In any case, I lost track of the guy over the years, but I rediscovered him in 2017, and he's done really well for himself since the Thieves, including an Oscar nomination for a song he wrote for the soundtrack of The Horse Whisperer.
You can find out more about him over HERE.

You can still get the Thieves CD at Amazon, BTW. And inexpensively.
Loved the track and just bought a CD of the Thieves CD -- thanks!
