music video of the day: "The Riverbed" by Owen Pallett

I love Owen Pallett.

When I was in grade 10, my first high school boyfriend lent me a Final Fantasy record. I fell in love with it more than I ever loved said boyfriend. I broke up with him, partly because the music was so beautiful and our tiny high school relationship didn't have a note of that passion that Pallett's strings did. I wanted that. He was mad at the time but I think it worked out in the end. He's since come out. We don't talk much. There's no heard feelings. 

Owen Pallett's work has been a favourite of mine ever since.

Because Matel sailed to shore today. Land ho! 

Martel is a double concept album in which Malinowski explores the lives of his relatives on both the east and west coasts — one disc is called "Pacific;" the other "Atlantic." The album's songs are based on the real and imagined life of Charles Martel, Malinowski's ancestor. Martel was inspired by Malinowski's own travels to Europe and his family's history in France. 
"Before my grandfather passed, he mapped our family lineage in detail, in old books," says Malinowski. "That's where I found Charles's story, and these patterns of displacement that resonated in me deeply. The Martels after Charles became sailors, privateers and pirates for the most part. It was a dislocation I felt deeply, having been continuously travelling for all my life." 
The result is a soulful, accessible piece of work that transcends genre and speaks to the experience of living with a Canadian past.
