Owen Pallett (Live)

I gravitate more and more toward (or, rather, into) the songs of Owen Pallett despite initial misgivings. His music reminded me of Philip Glass. Still does. And I can't take more than ninety seconds of Glass before my sanity shatters. But last summer I caught Owen Pallett streaming live for the Pitchfork Music Festival, and something shifted. Though I remain indifferent to his studio work, I've spent more than a little time watching and listening to Pallett's live performances on Youtube.

Here's one from his show this past Monday in London:



And here's a great one--the lead single from his new album--performed with an orchestra in Vienna last August:



Enjoy.
