If an eponymous name change and ambitiously conceptual third album, Heartland, wasn’t enough to send you reeling, how about another Owen Pallett record? Ready or not, the four-song A Swedish Love Story EP will be released on September 28 via Domino. As Pallett describes it, “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] 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.” Pallett will also be setting off with fellow indie starlets The National and The Dirty Projectors on a tour of the US around the beginning of September. You can check those dates below, as well as the EP particulars.
