Erudite indie pop darling Owen Pallett turned 31 yesterday and to celebrate he made the joyous opening number from his forthcoming A Swedish Love Story EP available for free download. According to a statement posted on his record label’s website, this EP finds the performer in an uncharacteristically “posi” frame of mind:
To contrast Heartland’s convoluted record process, and also to cut myself a break, I recorded this EP in New York City over a week, using not much more than my violin, my Moog, a bass and a drum kit. It’s closer in sound to my first album Has A Good Home than anything else. It’s called A Swedish Love Story in tribute to one of my favourite films En Karlekshistoria and as a love letter to the Swedish pop stars who inspired it. This is probably the most posi record I’ll ever make, enjoy the mood while it lasts.
