Final Fantasy - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead (Remix)

May 25, 2009, 9:13pm BowlingStone.com

I was listening to CBC Radio 3 at the office today and caught an interview with the founder of the Polaris Music Prize , Steve Jordan. He announced that the 2009 Polaris Prize long-list will be announced June 12th, and the short-list July 7th. Keeping with that theme, I though I would post a song from a past winner of the award. Your Ex-Lover Is Dead is originally a Stars tune that was remixed by the Canadian indie violinist/singer/songwriter Owen Pallett, and his solo music project Final Fantasy . Pallett won the inaugural Polaris Music Prize in 2006 for [...]

Final Fantasy, Grizzly Bear - BAM 02.28.09

Mar 1, 2009, 3:45am Look at me, I made a blog.

Pictures were prohibited and I managed to delete the one picture I had taken Grizzly Bear and Final Fantasy with the Brooklyn Philharmonic. Enough said, I had to go to the show that seemed like years in the making. I'd seen both Final Fantasy and Grizzly Bear before, but not with an orchestra! I am not one to pass up on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially when it's related to music. As I arrived a little late, the first song that I heard was "Horsetail [...]

Ffiinnaall Ffaannttaassyy - The Kitchen 02.07.09

Feb 8, 2009, 9:54am Look at me, I made a blog.

via brooklynvegan from Friday's show. Owen wore a bright yellow shirt on Saturday. Last night, Owen Pallett aka Final Fantasy and Matt Smith played the last of three shows as Ffiinnaall Ffaannttaassyy. Even if you've never heard of his pseudonym, it's likely that you're still familiar with Owen's other work. Acting as a go-to for string arrangements, Owen has worked (and at times toured) with Arcade Fire, Beirut , Grizzly Bear , and The Last Shadow Puppets. But, it is his work under Final Fantasy that [...]

Max Tundra - Playboy (Hot Chip Cover)

Nov 19, 2008, 5:51am DANGER! DANGER!

What? Nooo.. LCD Soundsystem might be no more , the socio-political conscience of electro-punk might be gone. Where will we find someone that great again? (pun soo intended). Well we can't go to Digitalism or Crystal Castles , that's for sure. And by the way, doesn't Crystal Castles like steal a lot of samples from Lo-Bat and stuff like that? Anywho, this is a cover by Max Tundra of Hot Chips Playboy , the living cult-figure. Look what Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy had so say about [...]

Final Fantasy - Plays to Please

Oct 14, 2008, 2:52pm PopWreck(oning)

The very talented violin-wielding Owen Pallett has yet another EP that he is releasing before his third full-length as Final Fantasy drops. Following sharp on the heels of Spectrum , is Plays to Please a theatrical EP that plays more like the the soundtrack to a musical than an indie rock album. The jazzy "Horsetail Feathers" starts the EP off with a jazzy mix of flute, piano and saxophone. The tremolo of the violin creates just the right amount of tension to keep listener's [...]

Final Fantasy + Beirut = Yippee

Oct 2, 2008, 10:35am Sound Salvation Army

If the new Final Fantasy album sounds like this song, I may have a new all-time favourite record. Pardon my use of hyperbole (once again), but the first single from Owen Pallett's new EP is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Once you take a look at it's construction, however, it should be no surprise. Press material for the Spectrum, 14th Century EP goes into great detail about the origins of the album, recorded while he was arranging and performing string parts on Beirut's the Flying Club Cup . For those unfamiliar with that band, it's basically [...]

Final Fantasy - Spectrum, 14th Century

Sep 29, 2008, 12:00pm PopWreck(oning)

Owen Pallett , or the man behind Final Fantasy is whetting fans appetites with two EPs before his third album is released in the spring. The first of these EPs, Spectrum, 14th Century is a departure from Pallett's usual violin-rich, looped tunes as he travels deep into his dark musings accompanied by Beirut 's horns. The violin isn't as prevalent on this album as his previous efforts, but it is still apparent on songs like "The Ballad of No-Face." Instead, this album uses horns, piano and timpani. But these heavier [...]

Coat To Wear

Sep 29, 2008, 11:41am Winter Academy

Ο Patrick Kelleher είναι ένας 24χρονος μουσικός από το Δουβλίνο. Έχει κυκλοφορήσει δύο μόλις EPs και το Coat To Wear που παρουσιάζουμε σήμερα ανήκει στο You Look Cold EP . "His music varies from brooding, tense electronica to jaunty acoustica to 8-bit dance-floor ditties, but always with a twist of something ethereal or idiosyncratic" έγραψε κάποιος, ο ίδιος ο Patrick περιγράφει τη μουσική του μ'ένα ξερό pop , και πολύ τον συμπάθησα γι'αυτό.. Ο παραπάνω κάποιος ανέφερε στην περιγραφή του και το όνομα Owen Pallett οπότε τον συμπάθησα κι αυτόν.. Το απόκοσμο [...]

Final Fantasy

Sep 11, 2008, 11:19am 2 Many Weirdos

Owen Pallett is Arcade Fire's violinist. Really talented and cool. He has this beautiful project called Final Fantasy which we came across while researching about queer indie stars. Yes, he is gay and wants the world to know it. He and his good friend Ed Droste, Grizzly Bear's front man. Owen covers Mariah Carey. I love this video. Final Fantasy is releasing 2 EP's: Plays to Please and Spectrum, 14th Century - both with surprisingly good [...]

New Final Fantasy Songs

Sep 9, 2008, 9:20pm The Pelican's Perch

Not too long ago, Stereogum had a few new songs from Final Fantasy featured exclusive to his blog. If you know me at all, you know my love for Owen Pallett's music. Sure, it's strange at times, and it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. So, any new Final Fantasy stuff is great news in my book. From the info I've gathered, Pallett is releasing two EP's in the next month or so full of all new stuff. First is Spectrum, 14th Century , which is a collaboration he did with Beirut, and is [...]

Wishstick

Ε λοιπόν κάτι πολύ περίεργο μου συνέβη με το σημερινό τραγούδι. Το πρωτοάκουσα πριν από δυο τρεις μήνες, όταν το πρότεινε σε ένα site ο Owen Pallett . Για την ακρίβεια το πρωτοείδα, καθώς το link έδειχνε σ'αυτό το πολύ απλό αλλά μυστηριωδώς εξαιρετικά γοητευτικό video.. Τέσσερις κοπέλες, περίεργα λευκά outfits, ένα απροσδιόριστο άρωμα μιας άλλης εποχής.. Το είδα ξανά και ξανά, και αποφάσισα να το παρουσιάσω το συντομότερο δυνατό. Πριν από λίγα λεπτά έπεσα και πάλι πάνω στις Pony Da Look , γιατί έτσι λέγεται το τετραμελές [...]

Final Fantasy

Sep 8, 2008, 5:14pm Blog Rockin Peet

Den her sang af Final Fantasy (nej, ikke spillet) minder mig om, at lige gyldig hvor hæftigt det regner, hvor sort himlen ser ud eller hvor uoverskueligt alt virker, så skal fuglene nok synge igen, himlen nok klare op og før eller siden et smil fra en kærkommen person blive sendt din vej. Det bedste du kan gøre, er at retunere smilet....og eventuelt sørge for, at din paraply ikke er gennemhullet, hvis det nu skulle begynde at regne igen :) Violinisten Owen Pallett er manden bag Final Fantasy og har i selvskab med [...]

The Butcher - Final Fantasy

Sep 1, 2008, 1:39pm itstoolong

In Erwartung eines richtigen Albums für 2009 veröffentlicht Owen Pallett in diesem Herbst gleich mal zwei EPs. Natürlich kennt man ihn besser unter dem Namen Final Fantasy (und natürlich hat er nichts mit dem gleichnahmigen Spiel von Squaresoft gemein). Natürlich bleibt alles unverändert; natürlich bleibt alles ganz klassisch auf Spectrum, 14th Century , von dem ich das dezent verquere The Butcher mitgebracht habe. Neu ist, dass sich mit Zach Condon von Beirut ein puristischer Folk-Musiker an den herrlich entrückten Spielereien eines Owen Pallett beteiligt. Was wiederum gar nicht so natürlich ist. [mp3] [...]

Final Fantasylta kaksi EP:tä

Sep 1, 2008, 5:54am katosblog.com

Final Fantasy aka Owen Pallett ei ole vielä antanut julkaisupäivää seuraavalle kokopitkälleen Heartland . Sen sijaan kuulijoita hemmotellaan kahdella EP:llä syksyn mittaan. 30. syykuuta ilmestyvä Spectrum, 14th Century -EP koostuu Beirutin kanssa ulkoilmassa nauhoitetuista kappaleista ('fake field recordings'), jotka kertovat kuvitteellisesta Spectrum -valtiosta/maasta. Lokakuun 21. päivä ilmestyy toinen EP Plays To Please , jonka kappaleet Pallett on säveltänyt yhdessä torontolaisen Alex Lukashevskyn kanssa. Musiikin tulkinnassa auttaa 35 soittajasta koottu orkesteri. Spectrum, 14th Century 01 Oh, Spectrum 02 Blue Imelda [...]
