Owen Pallett -- In Conflict

I am beyond excited for this one. I actually revisited In Conflict last month, playing it a lot, and it only made me more hungry for new Owen stuff.

owen produced this, and plays on one of the songs, "self-help": https://tomberlin.bandcamp.com/album/at-weddings-2

self-help is my favorite after one listen but it's all really good. i'm bad at musical references but it's generally acoustic, sometimes reverbed out, sometimes like grouper but not always.

i love owen p so much

i enjoy the empty space in "february", too

someone i almost married
is doing that this month
and i'm ignoring my reading and living like a ghost

Thanks for the heads up, this is very good.

"i am not afraid" is my theme song this week. what a good album.

just discovered that a recording of Songs From An Island from March last year was uploaded in October. loving this and excited for whenever the album emerges

I wish someone out there would tell us when the heck this is coming out!!

I heard a rumour about next January but the source was pretty sketchy

Maybe your source was me, but if not, lemme corroborate. :) At least it's what Owen said after the concert in Calgary. I guess the current state is pre-release PR planning and the like. To say I'm hyped is an understatement. The new material has a real strong emotional charge to it, that's for sure.

I wonder if this is a way one could find out

Wondering the very same... Stoked though obv.

hadn't seen this show from 2015 online before - with band guys matt and rob + extra strings

would help to post the video

just watched this a couple of weeks ago. daaaaaaaaaaaaamn

<3 <3

I've been absolutely stanning the emerging Westerman this year, so how come this lovely bastard of an album slipped through my net four and a half years ago!?

On A Path, oh my days, oh my days. <3

I've just been listening to this again this morning for the first time in ages and it's hit me like a ton of bricks. My god, The Riverbed :(((((

Also everything i've heard of Westerman so far I've loved, especially Confirmation.

Any news of Island?

got a good pair of headphones for really cheap, fanciest pair i've owned and a small desktop DAC/headphone amp....anyway this is such an amazing fucking *recording* just stunning sounding

like it's not square enough to get there but it should totally be one of those records that audiophiles use to test systems

When I taught recording and engineering, I used "The Riverbed" for frequency-recognition ear training practice and tests.
