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

Owen Pallett is adaptable. If he's performing solo outdoors under cloud cover, he'll seemingly conjure rainstorms while debuting a righteous new tune from his forthcoming Domino debut Heartland; while at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, he'll seamlessly flesh out his tones with the help of a symphony orchestra. That sort of versatility is a prereq...
In addition to including Final Fantasy's justifiably hyperbolic promotional blurb when first posting on the excellently kinetic synth-pop of "Which Song," we added this bit from Ben Jacobs aka Max Tundra himself on the process and equipment used to achieve his tones: The main technology behind this and all of my albums has been the Commodore Ami...
Owen Pallett bravely battles the rain in this epic performance of a new Final Fantasy track, "Lewis Takes Off His Shirt." It'll ostensibly appear on the endlessly delayed (and desired) Heartland. With rain pounding the stage and concerned stage hands telling him to pull the plug and cover cables with plastic, Pallett requests "just let me finish...

NAME: Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy)PROGRESS REPORT: Finishing work on Heartland, his followup to He Poos Clouds.Owen Pallett describes the way he works as "fastidious."
