Owen Pallett - Heartland
I love the Arcade Fire a lot, but without Owen Pallett (previously known as Final Fantasy), Arcade Fire would just be some guys playing Neon Bible in an elevator. He makes some pretty quirky music because he's gay, but that should not be the reason you don't like it. Honestly, if there's any album you listen to on this blog, it's this one. I hold it in the highest regards. It's also somewhat of a concept album, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia's page:
The songs on Heartland form a narrative concerning a "young, ultra-violent farmer" named Lewis, commanded by an all-powerful narrator—named Owen. It is set in the fictional world of Spectrum. According to Pallett, the songs are one-sided dialogues with Lewis speaking to his creator. Pallett commented that the idea behind Heartland is "preposterous. I wanted to have this contained narrative that has the breadth of a Paul Auster short story." The lyrics raise all sorts of theological questions about believers’ relationship with a deity and the nature of fate, but the construct is just a blank canvas. Pallett said, "Really, it's just all about me. All records are about their singer. I was trying to play with that."
Here's a link to his official site where you can buy the album, and here's a link to my mediafire upload of this album.
I could not decide what song, but it looks like QTV has three very very good live performances by him. here's one of 'em:
