"A collection of six delicate and thoughtful pop songs, the EP is highlighted by the quiet and sparse “21 People,†which proudly flaunts Eugene’s whispery Arthur-Lee-on-Nick-Drake vocals, ornately supported by his own guitar and a lone cello. Nothing else." -Kevin Ferguson / The Long Beach District Weekly

Eugene , aka Brandon Owens, is an artist originally from Los Angeles
now living in New York. After releasing his first recordings,
compiled into a 9 song disc dubbed the 4-track demos, he found himself
back in LA at the request of Nic Harcourt of KCRW'S Morning Becomes
Eclectic. During January of this year he was featured live on MBE and
doing a few west coast shows in support of those recordings. One of
which was an in store performance at Fingerprints music store in Long
Beach. It was here that Eugene met Kenneth Negrete, owner of
Time Release Records, a sort of boutique record label based in Eugene's
hometown.
What started as an invitation to come visit Ken's studio/art gallery
quickly and organically turned into what would be the start of a
creative means for Eugene's first official release. Immediately
attracted by the label's old school approach to art, both in selection
and execution, the chemistry between Ken and Eugene was undeniable.
With only a few days left to get to work, Eugene would end up
returning a few times over the following months to complete the six
songs found on Circles.
Eugene's music is hard to categorize. It is where vintage meets future and
heart meets soul. The music is quality and seems to speak to you
without need of genres or demographics. The songs on Circles are each
uniquely there own and glue themselves to you in the best way
possible.
