Still on the subject of Bloc Party, this is a really really cool cover of a song of theirs from Silent Alarm performed by the very talented Owen Pallett. Dude is a very talented musician, but his live covers are what kill me the most. He goes simple, just a guy with a violin and a RC50 loop station, building loops on the spot easily and flawlessly. His covers are all great; if you dig this i suggest checking Peach Plum Pear, a joanna newsom song he does great justice to. I wanted to post that, but this is equally as badass and a bit more relevant. Its also a great Bloc Party track.
Large fan of Mr. Pallett.
ReplyDeleteI will seriously buy someone a cookie if they can find out which album I previously posted that Owen plays on.
and no I did not mention his name in the post.
I feel like maybe...
ReplyDeleteHe was on that Frog Eyes record? They're Canadian too, right?
Your on the right track as far as Canadian bands....but nope not Frog Eyes
ReplyDeleteThen I guess it has to be The Most Serene Republic?
ReplyDeletePallet's wiki doesn't spill the beans, that's for sure.
Sea Snakes :). He has done a large amount of string arrangements for groups before he struck out on his own
ReplyDeleteHuh, never would've guess!
