With a new album out and a major tour starting soon, Owen Pallett (a.k.a. the Canadian pop composer formerly known as Final Fantasy) continues to gather fans, and this remix from the UK’s Simon Bookish is certain to please even the most cynical ears. “Keep the Dog Quiet” is sped up and given a more bouncy flair, complete with multi-layered orchestral stabs, deep bass, and cut-up samples of Pallett’s vocals. In the end, the piece recalls Belle & Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch singing over a particularly lush Wham City track, a unique combination if there ever was one.
