Owen Pallett's pop string project pays tribute to two things in this wonderful single: a) the engrossing role playing "Final Fantasy" game by which he names the project and b) good mates and fellow musicians Win Butler and Regine Chassagne of the band for which Owen often plays strings, The Arcade Fire. This is the first video for Final Fantasy and hopefully not the last. Not too shabby for a strictly independent. The video is shot in Toronto's Kensington Market at the legendary Portugese restaurant turned hipster gig venue, The Boat. PS- In case you didn't recognize him, Owen plays the dishwasher in the video. PSS- let me know if having the video play when the page loads up is a good thing or a bad thing. Right click to download the video (qt).
