About this product
Double vinyl LP pressing. Island is the 2021 album from Oscar-nominated composer and songwriter Owen Pallett. Almost entirely acoustic, Island begins with 13 darkened chords, and was recorded live at Abbey Road Studios with the London Contemporary Orchestra. The introduction is sound of waking up alone, and on the shore of a strange land. What follows is a shimmering and luscious orchestral album that draws across the full breadth of Pallett's discography, from Heartland's Technicolor to the glittering, fingerpicked guitar that marked Pallett's first records with their trio, Les Mouches.

Vinyl LP pressing. Domino is pleased to announce a remastered reissue of Owen Pallett's early catalogue, including albums Has A Good Home (2005), He Poos Clouds (2006), and the two EPs Spectrum, 14th Century and Plays to Please (both 2008) combined into one 12Inch full length . Pallett has built a reputation on live virtuosity, as violinist for the many local Toronto bands, followed by the wild looped-violin songwriting solo project. Has a Good Home serves as an introduction (and features many of Pallett's best-known songs), and the follow-up He Poos Clouds is a string quartet album based on the Dungeons & Dragons School of Magic, and was awarded the inaugural Polaris Music Prize. The first EP (side A) that followed, Spectrum, 14th Century, is a InchprequelInch to Pallett's celebrated album Heartland, set in the same fictional world of Spectrum. Pallett InchWhen I realized Heartland was going to be a 'fantasy' album, I imagined that the Spectrum EP would serve as a map of the countryside, as one would find in the first pages of a fantasy novel. InchThe second EP (side B), Plays to Please, is Pallett's tribute to Van Dyke Parks' arrangement style, and is their first foray into full orchestral production. In the spirit of Nilsson Plays Newman, it is a collection of interpretations of the works of songwriter Alex Lukashevsky.
Foo Fighters anxiously anticipated seventh album, WASTING LIGHT, produced by Butch Vig and mixed by Alan Moulder, was recorded entirely on analog tape in the garage of Dave Grohl's home in California's San Fernando Valley. The new record marks the Foo Fighters first full length effort with legendary producer Butch Vig, who previously produced new tracks InchWheelsInch and InchWord ForwardInch on 2009s GREATEST HITS and with whom Dave Grohl (of course) first worked on Nirvanas classic NEVERMIND. Nirvana co-founder Krist Novoselic also makes a cameo, contributing bass and accordion to InchI Should Have Known,Inch while former Nirvana touring guitarist and longtime extended FF family member Pat Smear now joins the permanent FF core of Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett.
