Our Take

Owen Pallett's latest offering, "Island," is a whimsical journey through the mind of a musical genius. The album is a delightful blend of orchestral pop and experimental electronic sounds, with Pallett's signature ethereal vocals floating effortlessly over the lush instrumentation.

From the opening track "Transformer," it's clear that Pallett is in a league of his own when it comes to crafting intricate and captivating melodies. His use of unconventional time signatures and unexpected key changes keeps the listener on their toes, never quite knowing where the music will take them next.

Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Paragon," with its dreamy strings and pulsating synths, and the infectious "A Bloody Morning," which showcases Pallett's knack for combining catchy hooks with thought-provoking lyrics.

But perhaps the most impressive aspect of "Island" is Pallett's ability to create a cohesive and immersive listening experience that transports the listener to another world. Each song flows seamlessly into the next, building to a climax that is both emotional and cathartic.

In conclusion, Owen Pallett's "Island" is a triumph of creativity and originality, cementing his status as one of the most exciting musicians working today. Don't sleep on this album – you'll want to be the first to say you knew about it.
