This had been bugging me since I saw Owen at LOLA this past Sept.
What is this first song, before midnight directives? Is it a cover or something?
I love the background images too, seems appropriate.

Oh I think you'll wait for a while for Honour the Dead.. Or Else. I guess it could be a B-side, or part of a compilation or a limited single...

c'mon Owen!!

as stolen from another board..cheers F Very short interview with Owen in today's Observer: www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2010/jan/03/owen-pallett-final-fantasy Classically trained Owen Pallett has arranged strings for some of the noughties' most acclaimed albums including Arcade Fire's Funeral. He has also released two records under the moniker Final Fantasy and his third, Heartland, is out on 18 January under his own name. Why the name change? The lawyer for Square Enix [which releases the Final Fantasy computer games] was a bit concerned. But it was a perfect time to have a change. From now on, it might be time to make my songs a bit more autobiographical. But isn't Heartland a concept album? Yes… no… I can't really define it as such. It's a romance. It's told from the perspective of a fictional character who I'm in love with – a heterosexual farmer who rides horses across fields. He becomes aware of my presence; that I'm devoting all this time to presenting his story. And though he's flattered by it, he goes a little crazy. So he climbs up a mountain and disembowels me… and that's the end of the album! When you worked with Arcade Fire on Funeral did you realise what an impact it would have? Yes. When I went into the studio and was confronted by how brilliant it was, I gave a little speech and said: "I hope you guys know that you're going to be as big as... " and I couldn't think of who to say because I didn't want to name some really awful mainstream band. Producers now get a lot of recognition but composers like you and Nico Muhly are making arrangers the new stars in pop. We're in a time where it's important to be sonically adventurous and there's an incredible sonic palette that is available to arrangers – it's kind of how we work. Thinking about the halo that different sonorities can create, as Nico puts it, that's something that a lot of producers and musicians feel attracted to. |

Does anybody get an email notifying about dispatching "Lewis Takes Action" from DOMINO? I've just realised that this single was supposed to be arrived on 5th and Domino said they would send an email when they dispatch it to us. I know this is not for me living half the earth away. But, I'm afraid that everybody got the email except meee.
I don't know why I'm so desparate about the b-sides this time, but I AM.

My son immediatety asked how I'd get it in the CD slot. He's probably never seen an LP in his life. Love the back cover..Twelve Songs. |

I've just realised that last month I sent postcards from London and it took 3 weeks to arrive. If it's the same with my order of Heartland, I might not have a chance to listen to it before Owen's show in Paris. Maybe I should have chosen the expensive fast delivery. |
