Owen Pallett “Midnight Directives” Live on CBC Radio 2, 2011
I love the way loop pedals in the hands of a skilled musician can make a solo performance seem like an elaborate magic trick. It’s a whole new sort of showmanship, you know? This song never stops blowing me away - this is a pretty mellow, low key version of it, but that “a man can be bought and a man can be sold and the price of a thousand unwatered souls” never fails to resonate deeply in me in ways I’m not sure I really understand.
We’ve all been waiting for it, so here it is folks: the video for the latest Flight Facilities single “With You (feat. Grovesnor)” (out now on Future Classic). The clip was directed by Benjamin Drake. We’ve also included a couple of remixes of the track underneath the video.
