Owen Pallett Set To Release new EP, Touring This Fall

Owen Pallet is set to release a new EP entitled A Swedish Love Story on September 28 through Domino. The EP is a follow-up to Pallett's critically-acclaimed Heartland, and features four tracks of brand new material. The man just keeps the music coming, huh?

Pallett described the recording process and motivation behind the new music.

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. (via Domino newsletter)

A Swedish Love Story will be available on 10" and via digital download.

Tracklisting:
1) A man with no ankles
2) Scandal at the parkade
3) Honour the dead, or else
4) Don't stop

Pallett is touring the U.S. with The National and Dirty Projectors beginning next month. Get the dates, preorder the EP, and see a live performance of A Swedish Love Story's "Scandal at the parkade" in Helsinki after the jump.
