Emerson Salon – Capitol Hill Seattle

Owen Pallet has become a force to be reckoned with in the indie pop realm and his new album “Heartland” is just the medium to show that. Having gained famed composing arrangements for Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible and Funeral, he later gained further notoriety releasing his own album under the name Final Fantasy. Now Owen Pallet is back, as himself, with Heartland, another album rife with his signature violin and voice. Pitchfork came in with an impressive 8.6 on this album and a very praise filled review here.

Owen’s hair has gone through some major style changes over the years reflecting the evolution of his persona. He went from having very short sides and a longer top to a longer layered style that is blond on top, with a disconnected, shorter and darker style near his ears and in the nape.

With a North American tour in full effect, Owen Pallett will be coming to Seattle on March 8th, at the Crocodile. More information on his MySpace page. Pitchfork describes his concerts as “I’ve never known anyone not to be wowed by Final Fantasy’s live show, and Final Fantasy’s live show is just Owen Pallett: the guy himself, a violin, and a loop pedal. It’s about as solo as anything gets– a performance, not a project.”
