To fill the space before his next full-length album, Canadian singer/songwriter Owen Pallett has released two EP’s under the ‘Final Fantasy’ moniker in order to keep fans satisfied and aren’t we glad he did. Both are understandably slight in nature, clocking in at around 20 minutes each, but show an artist not content to stay in his comfort zone and trying to expand his musical range.

Emanuel and the Fear is the experimental result of fusing eleven classically-trained musicians with NYC-centric dance rock.
