When I first stumbled Owen Pallett's one man side project I assumed it was a tribute to the Final Fantasy video game series. My assumption was so off. The only similarities between the two are the name and I found the album weird and stupid and pointless....but then it grew on me. The single "Many lives for 49mp" (I only listened to this one because of the obvious reference) floored me. Pallet's project is completely solo but it sounds far from it. He records a violin riff, loops it, and builds upon it to create an orchestra from scratch when in all honesty its just one skinny dude on stage. It's amazing, and when one treads past the surface and examines the lyrics, it has alot in common with gamers. The best way to describe this would be baroque pop, with biting caustic lyrics. Take a chance on some new music:
