‘Lewis Takes Action’ by Owen Pallet
January 8, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Music & VideoOn the last #musicmonday I was expressing how much I’m in love with the new Owen Pallett album, Heartland, so I have a little bit of proof to show exactly how great it is. About a week ago the folks at Yours Truly put together a little Twitter contest to be a part of intimate studio session with Owen, so basically a tiny, private concert (insert me being insanely jealous). Owen, along with his fellow musician Thomas, played some of the songs off of new album and they sounded great. The song above is Lewis Takes Action and is one of my favorites.
Heartland comes out on January 12th here in the States and on the 18th in Europe, so be prepared. There’s also another video of the guys performing which you can see here.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.I discovered Pallet through his work with Arcade Fire – in Canada you hear of him a little more then you might in the States. A good place to find more of his songs is at radio3.cbc.ca/bands/Owen-Pallett.
Perhaps my favorite song by him is The CN Tower Belongs to the Dead.
I can already tell this is going to be one of my albums of the year.
It’s been in rotation non-stop the past 2 weeks.
The album is absolutely brilliant, I’m falling in love.
He’s always been one of my faves. I saw him perform live at a Folk Festival when he was still going under the name Final Fantasy and his live show is mind-blowing.
