Last week, Owen Pallett played a concert in London’s Union Chapel, with the following super amazing guests:  Sam Amidon, Nico Muhly, and Beth Orton. It was pretty special, from what I’ve heard of it. They played a new song by Beth Orton, which sounds as fine and affecting as wind in your hair — this [...]

mp3 The anticipation is finally over, and Owen Pallett’s (formerly known as Final Fantasy) new album Heartland is available to buy online.

From Seabear’s upcoming album, We Built A Fire, due out in March 2010.  From the sound of it, it’s going to be just as great, if not better than their last album, The Ghost That Carried Us Away.

Of Jesse’s lineage coming As men of old have sung It came, a flow’ret bright, Amid the cold of winter When half spent was the light. Isaiah ’twas foretold it The rose I have in mind, With Mary [...]
