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

Oh, your eyes, your greedy eyes  
Your dry and desperate tongue  
You’ve told a lie, a lie, a lie  
For every pretty note your reedy voice has sung   

Do we believe in devils? (No.)  
Winged men? The healing power of love? (No.)  
Enchantment? Social justice? (No.)  
Dead child actors in a white, white world above? (No.)   

Why are all these songs about the things that don’t exist?  
Do not resist, we’ll burn these lies tonight and never let them live
 Oh, stoke the fire, we’ll burn these words tonight and never let them live   

The Pooka wings away, his power over me is at an end  
And I put down my violin, I leave it down, never again

So glad to found the complete bundle was still available to buy. I couldn't just buy the standalone LP, had to get all the items together to increase my own delight! ♡ One of my favourite records of Sufjan along with Carrie & Lowell and The Greatest Gift. Vinilocioso
