The pious pilgrims trek into the music mecca of Union Chapel from all corners of subculture and all phases in life, united by a single force - Owen Pallett, alias Final Fantasy. They have come to see their god. He is benevolent tonight.

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.

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 a...

But the information is still relevant and of interest, so here we go anyways.

Unpredictable violinist and videogame fan Owen Pallett, aka sage advice giver , aka Final Fantasy, has cobbled together a pair of excellent post-He Poos Clouds EPs due for release this fall. The first to arrive's the five-song Spectrum, 14th Century , which finds Pallett collaborating with Beirut on "fake fields recordings."

Apparently, I seem to have a growing baroque pop obsession. After *"this post":http://mog.com/PuellaQuamAmoEstPulchra/blog_post/166227*, I just had to tell you about Owen Pallett. He *"has been introduced":http://mog.com/kristiana/blog_post/82109* to you before, but an interesting artist like him, more than deserves a new plug.I usually don't get into details about an artist's biography, but th...
