Owen Pallett / Carmen Elle 27 Club, Ottawa ON, November 15
Owen Pallett announced recently that due to a moment of clarity whilst onstage last year this would be his last ever tour; the news either fell on deaf ears in these parts or simply came too late for many.
didn't take his songwriting in some welcome new directions, mind you: it's more that as an artist's modes and mantras become more and more familiar, the gap between your expectations and the experience they deliver inevitably folds in on itself.
But no matter how dense the layers of violin and keyboard that he loops or how terse the strokes of his chords Pallett pinpoints beauty in the blizzard.
