Lysandre is the debut album recorded by former- Girls lead vocalist and guitarist Christopher Owens. It was originally released on 14 January 2013 on the Fat Possum record label.
Following the posting of a statement on Twitter that he would be leaving Girls, on 25 October 2012, Owens announced that he would release his debut solo album, titled Lysandre, in January 2013. The album was recorded with a group of musicians in Los Angeles with producer Doug Boehm - who produced Girls' 2011 second album Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Owens released a statement with the announcement of Lysandre's release explaining that the album tells the story - in track sequence - of the first Girls tour in 2008 and takes its title from a girl he met in France during that trip. His statement calls the album "a coming of age story, a road trip story, a love story." The album and new solo career have allowed Owens to satisfy his own creative whims, and although he is sitting on a couple records worth of new material,"he admits that the gap between writing and recording gives him the distance to reappraise a song's quality."
The album is unusual in that all of the songs, save for the final track on the album Part of Me (Lysandre's Epilogue) are recorded in the key of A. Owens states that this song was written separately from the other tracks on the album. Also the album often incorporates the use of a refrain, played on a different instrument each time it is heard, a technique previously used by These New Puritans.
Owens, along with the seven musicians who appear on the album, performed Lysandre in full for the very first time at San Francisco's /The Lodge at the Regency Center on 9 November 2012. He was featured on the cover of Issue #83 of the Fader.
In April 2013, Owens released a fully acoustic version of Lysandre for free via his website. A vinyl version of Lysandre Acoustic was also released.

CIC, the words slurred by the slight fuzziness of a decrypted transmission.
CIC, a crew member looked up from the flatscreen monitor for the sensor arrays.
She gazed down into it, watching until CIC updated it with the red caret that indicated an unidentified hyper footprint on Gauntlet's starboard bow at just over sixteen light-minutes.
On board were five men, the two pilots, a CIC officer, an air controller, and a radar operator.
A close surveillance by CIC or any other MG unit could break the back of all his hopes and desires, edged with poison and solitude though they may have been.
They left it out to free up mass for her flag accommodations and a full-scale fleet CIC.
That's funny, I guessed he was one of those old CIA spooks who hangs around in the CIC.
There's no reason the transmitters and receivers aboard the arrays couldn't manage it, but we'd have to remotely access the software to redirect the downlink to the pinnaces instead of CIC.
It is reality television: CIC picks out one of their agents who is involved in a wet operation-doing some actual cloak-and-dagger work and has him put on a gargoyle rig so that everything he sees and hears is transmitted back to the home base in Langley.

At that moment, the mistake had been detected in Jefferson's CIC, and the selector switch hastily set back to standby mode.
Kirkegard agreed, watching the sidebars of his plot as CIC assigned threat values to the incoming warheads.
Most of the CIC crew were too deeply involved in their own stations to bother with the broadcast, but the intel sysops turned to listen, even though they could have taken the sound channel through individual headphones.
