Owen Pallett is the LeBron James of music; tours with The National, Dirty Projectors, Spoon, Arcade Fire

Dude. Somebody up there likes Owen Pallett… and I guess at least at few people down here are into him too, judging by the Canadian art-pop chamber-tronic whiz’s sterling fall tour schedule. Riding the wave of “aw shit, that’s awesome!” that has been steadily propagating outward in all directions from this year’s epic Heartland LP, duder’ll open for the likes of The National and Dirty Projectors, as well as the Merge Records Wondertwin that is Arcade Fire and Spoon at two sure-to-be-insane shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden! Yeah… LeBron WHO???

But Pallett’s Rolodex doesn’t end there by a long shot. He also currently has a new EP for sale over at his Domino page, which features remixes of the Heartland jam “Lewis Takes Off His Shirt” from the likes of Dan Deacon, Max Tundra, Simon Bookish, Benoit Pioulard, and CFCF. (You can check out the Dan Deacon mix over at the Chocolate Grinder.) Man, I am starting to feel like I have pretty much no friends at all compared to this guy.
