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

We the dead, we the dead find a country road
 Country road, lead the dead from our homes to the ground  
Make a book of the maggots our bodies will snare
 'Cause the earth is the earth, no need to travel in the air   

The CN Tower is built upon our bones
 The CN Tower will always be our home  

Decorate 'round the base, all the graves of our lost loves  
Cabbages, ginger root and a crucifix   

Never rode on the plains, never thought I couldn't stay
 Had a good run anyway, had a good run anyway  
I could fill up the lake with all the things I didn't say  
Had a good run anyway, had a good run anyway

  From the top of the tower
 Radio buzz in our ears  
We can see your house from here  
We can see your house from here

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
