New Final Fantasy (Feat. Zach Condon) - "Hey Dad"
Owen Pallett's back with some post-He Poos Clouds Final Fantasy as a part of Tomlab's Alphabet Single series. The two tracks on X, recorded in Montreal with Zach Condon, predate the tunes on the full-length. If you remember, Pallett sings and handles string arrangements and some recording duties on Beirut's still-fresh and French The Flying Club Cup. The tracks -- "Hey Dad" and "What Do You Think Will Happen Next? -- are both live regulars, though, so they should be at least semi-familiar to Final Fantasy fanatics. Have a listen of the super A-Side "Hey Dad," which opens with a melancholic string sweep and scissoring, orchestral Glass rhythms before gliding into a grandiose pop hymn that -- amid all its beauty -- manages to keep the "poo" theme alive by mentioning tossing shit on a table. Kudos, Owen.
Totally blustery and completely breathtaking. If you want more Pallett, the next Final Fantasy long-player Heartland's expected fall 2008. For now, the X 7" is out 11/6 in an edition of 500 on Tomlab.

hmm i thought this was a remake of -> before I read the description. the melody is strikingly similar. fall 2008 is a long time from now, especially since we've been hearing songs from heartland for years. hope it goes well.

ah man kinda off topic but beirut's toronto show was fucking awesome. owen came out and sang cliquot and i guess the security wasnt letting the crowd dance and shit. toward the end, they were like fuck it and like a hundred people stormed the stage. the crowd was fucking insane and owen ended up playing i think it was a trombone(? i couldn't really see)and we got like 2 encores. best show of the year.
Score = 0
Hey Dad was the name of a sitcom when I was a kid. In Australia it's like Full house or one of those shows... only bigger cos it was the only one we had. Oh Hey Dad. Good times. I'm sure this song's good too.
Bye bye
Score = 0
i love this, but the beginning sounds like the theme song to the Supergirl movie from the 80's...
