Heartland, the third album by Owen Pallet, is a panoramic and orchestral work; a song cycle of Contemporary Fiction, and his finest work to date.
Heartland’s narrative concerns a young, ultra-violent farmer named Lewis and is set in the imaginary landscape of Spectrum. Pallett describes the concepts behind the record: "The album is about the beginning, middle and end of a relationship. But it’s sung from the point of view of the object of my affection.”
Recorded over nine months, Pallett enlisted the services of the Czech Philharmonic in Prague and travelled to Reykjavik to use Valeifgr Siggurdson’s Greenhouse studio, home to such sonically widescreen masterpieces as Bjork’s Medulla & Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy’s The Letting Go. Collaborating on Heartland are drummer Jeremy Gara (of Arcade Fire) and mixer Rusty Santos, who previously worked on Panda Bear's Person Pitch.
