Great news! One of my favorite musicians, Owen Pallett will be releasing his wayyyyy overdue third record, Heartland which will be hitting stores January 12th. I couldn’t be more excited. Coming out on Domino, Heartland “is the product of nine months of 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.” Jesus, this album sounds epic. Here’s what Owen has to say about it: “The songs themselves form a narrative concerning a farmer named Lewis and the fictional world of Spectrum. The songs are one-sided dialogues with Lewis, a young, ultra-violent farmer, speaking to his creator.”
You can check out a live video for “Lewis Takes Off His Shirt” below, along with the tracklist and an old MP3. He’s also going on tour with The Mountain Goats, which should make for a hell of a show.
Heartland tracklist:
1. Midnight Directives
2. Keep The Dog Quiet
3. Mount Alpentine
4. Red Sun No. 5
5. Lewis Takes Action
6. The Great Elsewhere
7. Oh Heartland, Up Yours!
8. Lewis Takes Off His Shirt
9. Flare Gun
10. E Is For Estranged
11. Tryst With Mephistopheles
12. What Do You Think Will Happen Now?
