He Poos Clouds is the second album by Canadian indie rock artist Final Fantasy, released in May of 2006.
The album was released on Blocks in Canada and Tomlab internationally.
The songs on the album (excepting the fifth and tenth tracks) are loosely connected to the eight schools of magic in tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons, and the title track's lyrics ostensibly refer to Nintendo video game series The Legend of Zelda, as well as The Chronicles of Narnia. Pallett has also said that the album is a reflection on how atheists confront death[1].
The track "This Lamb Sells Condos" refers to Toronto real estate developer Brad J. Lamb, who had previously used the song's title phrase as an advertising slogan. In the song, Pallett imagines an argument between the eponymous developer and his wife which alludes heavily to various fashion designers.
The album was named the winner of the inaugural Polaris Music Prize on September 18, 2006.
