Editorial Reviews

Review

BEST NEW MUSIC ...these songs are steadily revealing ever more to love. Martial drums and strings rumbling tense in the foreground with clouds of strings overhead. The sly, soulful melody of "Oh Heartland, Up Yours!"-- something that feels new in Pallett's repertoire. A kind of orchestral motorik beat on "Tryst with Mephistopheles". The way something like an 808 kick drum loops its way darkly into "Red Sun No. 5". Hints of Kurt Weill. This stuff is rich with ideas, and they're offered in the kind of rich, warm sound that should be accessible to more fans than ever before. Those of you with the inclination to pick them up will find a lot to reward you. --Pitchfork, Nitsuh Abebe

Product Description

Heartland exists. The 3rd Owen Pallett (formerly Final Fantasy) full-length and the first for Domino, it is the product of nine months work in four countries. Heartland is a fully orchestral record, designed to exist simultaneously as an album, a 45-minute piece of orchestral music and a set of songs for looped violin and voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars He pooed clouds and this is what came out... March 4, 2010
Format:Audio CD
I wasn't very familiar with Owen Pallet / Final Fantasy before buying this. It was more of an impulse buy based on glowing reviews I read leading up to its release.

It clearly is the record to beat this year - nearly two months after its release and I still stand firm on that assumption.

My favorites are the first two tracks here. He is very grounded in classical structures. His compositions are full of impeccable tonal resolutions and his voice somehow recalls Christopher Cross.

With that said - go make your own assumptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Imagine There Will be a Better Album This Year February 7, 2010
Format:Audio CD
Truly a special album. I am a bit skeptical of some of the newer indie rock--not a huge fan of Grizzly Bear, et al. I was won over by Other Music's "free download" off this record. Since then, I bought the CD and I have listened to little else. Standout tracks are "Lewis Takes Action" and "Lewis Takes Off His Shirt." A couple of clips of him playing these two tracks live (available on You Tube) demonstrate that this guy is amazing. If I had to pick an analogue, it's a bit similar to (his sometimes collaborators) Arcade Fire. Simply incredible, beautiful, lush, accomplished music. Pretty amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grows on you like no other December 28, 2012
By bubbly
Format:Audio CD
On my first listen-through I thought Heartland was just decent. During the second, when I began listening to the lyrics in earnest, I started to think it was pretty good. After having listened to the album on and off for several years I think I can safely say it's one of the best albums of the new century. It takes the concept-album to a level of achievement unheard of since the heyday of 70s progressive rock, rewarding repeated listenings like no other album I know. Every song is so beautifully and densely arranged it seems like I'll never fully unpack their secrets. I would recommend this album to anyone and everyone.

This album impressed me and I hope it does the same for a lot of other folks out there. There's at least a few others who already seem to concur! Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartland
Some very well-structured and highly addictive songs, putting it next to Towers of Asia's debut as one of last year's nicest surprises.
