Final Fantasy - He Poos Clouds

To win the title of best artist is an achievement in any country. But to do it in Canada is monumental. As anyone who follows the indie music scene would know, Canada has become a hot spot for up and coming musicians, even beginning to challenge the USA’s dominance. Well this year a number of Canadian blogs got together to choose their favourite; the winner was Final Fantasy. I had found the first Final Fantasy album enjoyable at times, but ultimately too unorthodox for my liking. I basically feel the same way about this year’s He Poos Clouds. Sure I’ve been branching out into more and more obscure territory of late, but with Final Fantasy I don’t feel the same level of attraction that I’ve had with other bands. I think the problem is that this music appears to lack depth. The combination of vocals and violins works well, but at times it seems to be missing something. I crave a richer sound, with a bit more variation and I think that’s why the song below is my favourite. Don’t get me wrong, there are some brilliant moments on this album, but as a complete package, it fails to excite.

Around this time last year, Owen Pallett-- a touring sideman and string arranger for the Arcade Fire and Hidden Cameras-- released Has a Good Home, his first record as Final Fantasy. For an album assembled in approximately six days, march madness it contained a surprising amount of good material: elegant, sophisticated, and generally winsome pop songs constructed from violin and loop pedals. A year later, Squaresoft has yet to send a cease-and-desist order, and Pallett's emerged with something far grander than his modest debut.

In the song, Pallett imagines an argument between the eponymous developer and his wife that alludes heavily to various fashion designers.
