Final Fantasy photo by Hedi SlimaneThe Brooklyn Philharmonic-- certainly the only orchestra I can think of who play in skinny jeans and neck scarves, JK LOL-- will spruce up sets from Grizzly Bear and Owen Pallett's Final Fantasy at a joint show February 28 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House. Led by conductor Michael Christie, the BK Phil are set to accompany both GB and FF as they perform their respective tunes. Pallett, being that sort of guy, will come up with the orchestrations for his own work, while young composer Nico Muhly will assist Grizzly Bear with theirs. The show is the latest in Christie's BP Presents series, which previously brought the likes of Antony Hegarty (of Antony and the Johnsons) and Muhly together with the orchestra.The date is but one of two planned events Grizzly Bear have on the docket at the moment; the other, of course, is that Obama-boosting bingo party at the Horticultural Society of New York this weekend. As for Mr. Pallett, the second of his two fall EPs, Plays to Please, is due in limited physical numbers October 21 from Slender Means Society, States Rights Records, and Blocks Recording Club. And he, too, has but a few tour stops scheduled at the moment.read more

Photo by Kirstie ShanleySome might hear an Arcade Fire song-- all that sweeping sincerity and gusto!-- and guess that the band is a little pompous in real life. They're rock'n'roll saviors, dammit! Well, according to Flaming Lips front man Wayne Coyne, Arcade Fire are actually a lot pompous in real life. At least that's what he told Rolling St...

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe teamed up with UK production team Xenomania for their forthcoming tenth studio album, Yes, which includes guest spots from Johnny Marr and string arrangements via Owen Pallett, aka Final Fantasy (aka whoa). But all we've heard is the first single "Love Etc.," co-written by Xenomania. It's a catchy, icy meld of Tennan...

Last fall after a period of post-Poos silence, Owen Pallett released a pair of excellent EPs, and in their wake, a pair of interesting videos. Unlike "Blue Imelda" and "The Butcher," Owen actually turns up in Pays To Please's "Horsetail Feathers." Director Tracy Maurice makes good work of the cut's old-timey symphonic swing, essentially answerin...

In a recent interview with us about the recent Arcade Fire concert film Mirror Noir, Win Butler described his band's current mindset thusly: "We have no idea what we're doing, but I feel like playing with you this afternoon, so how about we have some tea and play songs for a little bit." Quaint! So while the official next Arcade Fire album may b...

The Pet Shop Boys don't really need to keep releasing new music; the icily fey British synthpop pioneers have already released a couple discs' worth of absolute classics. But they're still going, and Yes, their 10th studio album, will be out via Parlophone/EMI on March 23 in Europe (no U.S. release date yet). Xenomania, the British production te...
