CHARTattack's Trevor Morelli checked out Calgary's Sled Island Music Festival from June 24-28. Here's his report: Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett may be a man of few words, but it was the fans at Calgary's third annual Sled Island Music Festival that were left speechless after his show.

Final Fantasy Is Classic

in
By Jessica Lewis (CHARTattack) August 28, 2008 1:14 pm
The Music Hall was packed full of indie kids on Wednesday night, all of them looking for some classy music that was sophisticated and superior to whatever the latest blogiverse flavour of the week. Indeed, the show put on by Final Fantasy and contemporary classic composer Nico Muhly was a portrait of imagination and spark, and far more than just...

Jens Lekman Makes The Great Hall Oh So Silent

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) April 9, 2008 1:00 pm
This evening of indie pop was originally to be split between two fundraiser shows on April 7 and 8 at The Music Gallery, but was later amalgamated into one evening at The Great Hall. Although this show was no longer at The Music Gallery, which is housed in St. George The Martyr Anglican Church, the crowd at The Great Hall was pretty much reverent...

Brampton Indie Arts Festival Report #1: Final Fantasy, The Meligrove Band

in
By Pras Rajagopalan (CHARTattack) February 21, 2007 10:00 am
To many, seeing "indie arts" and "Brampton" in the same sentence together will come across as strange. After all, how much appetite can there be for independent art in this thoroughly suburban strip-mall community?

Final Fantasy — He Poos Clouds

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) June 6, 2006 10:36 am
Between the title, the strings and the choir on "This Lamb Sells Condos," Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett has taken outdoing one's self to a new level. Has A Good Home was a clever bit of solo work with electronics. He Poos Clouds, however, features a full string quartet and various keyboards, which allow Pallett the freedom to do whatever...

Final Fantasy — Has A Good Home

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) December 20, 2005 12:33 pm
Owen Pallett made a name for himself arranging strings for Arcade Fire, Hidden Cameras and Jim Guthrie, among many others. In 2005, he became a solo star with Final Fantasy. On Has A Good Home, a record written for his boyfriend, Pallett looped lush melodies underneath hushed vocals and had the indie crowd swooning. It doesn't hurt that he...

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) December 21, 2009 4:36 pm

Pallett, whose third studio album, Heartland, is out Jan. 12, says he'll no longer record or perform under the moniker because Square Enix games owns the trademark rights to the Final Fantasy name. The company is responsible for the very successful...
