    Remastered by João Carvalho at Revolution
    Includes a download card to the digital deluxe edition of this release

    Domino is pleased to announce a remastered reissue of Owen Pallett’s early catalogue. Pallett has built a reputation on live virtuosity, as violinist for the many local Toronto bands, followed by the wild looped-violin songwriting solo project. Has a Good Homeserves as an introduction (and features many of Pallett’s best-known songs), and the follow-up He Poos Cloudsis a string quartet album based on the Dungeons & Dragons School of Magic, and was awarded the inaugural Polaris Music Prize.

    Please note: Any purchases of the digital album previously made via Owen Pallett's Bandcamp has been the remastered audio.

    Includes unlimited streaming of He Poos Clouds via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Lazy, you lazy poet, your words are reckless, and I can’t feel it 

But hey, hey, all the boys I have ever loved have been digital 

I’ve been a guest on a screen, or in a book 

I move him with my thumbs, I move him with my thumbs 

I write his name in nothing, he whispers to the author 

That I will be the only one 



Escape! Escape! This time, for real! 

We fool around in the service lane 

He’s the only friend I have who doesn’t do cocaine 

And all the boys I have ever loved have been confidential 

Had a broken home, or a seedy past 

So I know, I know it’s gonna last 

Move him with my thumbs, I move him with my thumbs 

He needs, he needs my guidance, he needs, he needs my time 

And I am not the only one 



He swam! To the edge! Of the wall! Of the world! 

Followed my, followed my voice! And he cried! 

“Master! The answer is maybe, maybe not! 

"Maybe not! Maybe not! I have goals! 

"Gotta fulfill the seven prophecies 

"Gotta be a friend to grandmother 

"Gotta rescue Michael from the White Witch 

"Gotta find and kill my shadow self 

"Gotta dig up every secret seashell 

"You may have been made for love 

"But I’m just made.”
