Owen Pallett is not an artist that I was familiar with until a couple of days ago. Classically trained and known for his work with bands like Arcade Fire, Hidden Cameras and Beirut, he's also produced a number of solo albums. 2010's Heartland is probably as good a place to start as any.
It's a fascinating record and probably one that would reward further listens. Lush, orchestral and baroque, (and probably deeply indebted to Pet Sounds), it has a set of trembling, autumnal melodies that take the most interesting twistas and turns imaginable. I recommend it highly.
