Christopher Owens has the weight of the world on his shoulders. His band Girls is going sorta overground / NPR-stream, every1 is creaming their pants over the new album whether or not it is better than their previous work. Now Chrissy Owens has 2 'prove himself' as a top tier frontman of indie. Win Butler status. Ezra Koenig status. Guy from Fleet Foxes status. Basically, if this album cycle finishes, and he is not an indie household name, the entire album is a disaster.

R u ready 2 accept ChrissyBB Owens as a '1st-name-basis' member of indie celebrity society?
Will he ever escape from being known as 'that guy who grew up in a cult who has an indie band'?
Do u like the new video for "Honey Bunny"?
Does he 'rip off' Ariel Pink's personal brand?

Not sure why they debuted this video on a hard-to-blog NYTimes video embed format.

BB ur so skinnie! I kinda like ur boney body. :-* [via Lana Del Rey puckered lip impression]

That's why he is trying to 'out-Ariel-Pink' Ariel Pink at his own game in the new video for "Honey Bunny." The video looks strikingly similar to Ariel Pink's classic hit video "Are You Going To Look After My Boys."

At the end of the day, you can't out-Ariel Ariel Pink at his own game, no matter how Arielly you get.

Is Chris Owens 'making the leap'?
Is he a bonafide indie hunk?
Should he 'get buff' like a King of Leon?
R u still digging the new album?
Is the new album a little bit 'too white' [via stale indie], or can GIRLS do no wrong?
Is Christopher Owens a Hottie McHotHot?
