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 Home serves as an introduction (and features many of Pallett’s best-known songs), and the follow-up He Poos Clouds is 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 Has A Good Home via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I had to hide myself in a book  
To keep your love away  
The pages worn with all of my faults  
The cover torn away   

I gave my life to the Water God
 For an apprenticeship  
Answering his mail and his door  
For nyads, hippogryphs 

After Midwinter Banquet,
He shook his head, "Sadly, no.
 "I can reverse the river's flow  
"But I can never send you home."

  I had to hide myself in a book  
To keep your love away  
When you read me, I get to look  
Back at my younger days

The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
