Final Fantasy covers Bloc Party
Owen Pallett is a bit of a genius. As well as co-writing the string arrangements on the Arcade Fire's debut album and playing with them live, he also has a solo project called 'Final Fantasy'. This features Owen on vocals and violin, occasionally backed by Leon Taheny on drums (who also engineers and produces the project).
As anyone who's been lucky enough to go to a Final Fantasy gig will testify, he is a stunning live performer. He builds up layers of sound using his violin through a loop pedal, including knocking the instrument to create a beat. Owen also has a stop-you-in-your-tracks angelic voice and his next album will apparently be called 'He Poos Clouds', which is described as "an eight-song cycle about the eight schools of magic in Dungeons & Dragons"!
Anway, I've uploaded the Final Fantasy cover of 'This Modern Love', filmed at one of his recent gigs. Clicky.

James, do you have the full video of this concert? I bet the entire show would have been amazing to see.
Nope, sorry - I only have this song on video. Here's a gig recording and his new video though:

It's not great quality, but the song still sounds good. It's the Thursday 19th Jan post, No. 210. Hope this helps.
