MUSIC

Canadian musician and composer Owen Pallett creates panoramic, orchestral music, performing first under the name Final Fantasy and now his own. He has collaborated with and arranged for such indie favorites as Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Grizzly Bear and Beirut. His new, critically lauded release Heatland follows his second recording, He Poos Clouds, which won the inaugural Polaris Prize for best Canadian full-length album. Pallett’s adventurous and often playful music spans genres, from being played by the Brooklyn Philharmonic to being featured at this year’s Coachella Festival for the first time.
