Add Date: January 12
Artist: Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy)
Album: Heartland
Label: Domino
Genre: Rock, orchestral pop, indie pop
Comments: Composer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Owen Pallett returns with Heartland, his third LP overall and first for Domino (Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, Arctic Monkeys). Although his nom de tune Final Fantasy appears on the album spine, Pallett is now using his given name; someone tells me there's a video game series by the same name, which might have a copyright on the moniker. Regardless, this is certainly his most accessible, and possibly finest, work to date. Pallett's mix of strings and electronics, combined with his songwriting skills, will appeal to fans of Beirut, Jens Lekman and Andrew Bird. Check out the upbeat synth lines on "The Great Elsewhere" and "Lewis Takes Off His Shirt," as well as the chamber pop numbers "Lewis Takes Action" and "Keep the Dog Quiet."
