Owen Pallett's latest release is a very mixed bag, stylistically at least. The intro is threatening to take us in to sonic territory before a whirl of strings and a gentle drum beat combine to create a driving rhythm over the gently bubbling electronic. Add to this Pallett's soft vocals and we are left with an absorbing starter to the main course towards the end of the song. A subtle change in drum beat and a slow re-introduction of strings, along with Pallett's increasingly strong vocal refrain, create a suitably 'epic' finale to a song that will only serve to enhance Pallett's already rapidly increasing reputation.
