*SOLD OUT*

*Please note; both Final Fantasy and Grizzy Bear are playing at Homefires on 3 June.*

Final Fantasy is the solo project of Owen Pallett ex-Hidden Cameras member, violist / arranger for The Arcade Fire and guitarist and vocalist from Torontos Les Mouches who has won fans including David Bowie and U2. And so here he is, promoting his recently released album 'Has a Good Home'.
Performing alone with only his violin and looping pedal, Owen manages to build up the most complex, wonderful songs with catchy hooks and euphoric lush melodies that recall Rufus Wainwright, Philip Glass and in places Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart.
Main support - New York's Grizzy Bear - play their first London show that'll sees them deliver a nostalgic amalgamation of found sounds and layered vocals, sure to thrill fans of Sufjan Stevens, Nick Drake, Animal Collective and the Unicorns.
"The pure atmospheric power of the songs is more than enough to hypnotize" [Rolling Stone}
"The gentlemen of Grizzly Bear paw around in wholly distinct regions of gentle, nocturnal psych-folk, conjuring visions of an imagined bedroom collaboration between the Doug Yule-era Velvet Underground, Nick Drake, and a pajama-clad Pooh with his head jammed in a honey jar."[Pitchfork Media]
