Owen Pallett, AKA Final Fantasy, has announced a gig in Whelan's, Dublin on Friday, 29th of May.Anybody unfamiliar with Owen and his wonderful violin-driven ditties should ser. His amazing 2006 album 'He Poos Clouds' won the inaugural Polaris Prize in his homeland of Canada and remains one of my all-time favourites.
I was fortunate enough to see him play in Vicar Street in 2007 and I was blown away by his performance. It was just him, his violin and a looping pedal on stage but, by layering layers of music over each other, he managed to craft these incredible soundscapes that provide a perfect backdrop to his slightly eerie vocal delivery.
Tickets for the gig can be booked here. Whelan's is a pretty small venue so don't dilly dally!
This clip is an old favourite of mine. See how long it takes until you recognise the tune:
