Audio Mixer: Rusty Santos. Toronto-based singer/songwriter/composer/violinist Owen Pallett's Final Fantasy project officially ended its public affair with the beloved Japanese video game of the same name (he has promised to release subsequent albums under his legal name) with Heartland, a 12-song conceptual piece concerning "a young, ultra-violent farmer named Lewis set in the imaginary landscape of Spectrum." To be fair, Pallett's last release, the superb He Poos Clouds was an "an eight-song cycle about the eight schools of magic in Dungeons & Dragons" adorned with a cover that included a hand-drawn rendering of the action described in the title. As with all of his works, Heartland wears its absurd premise high and proud, allowing its creator the freedom to explore the entire spectrum of human emotion without ever succumbing to hipster irony. Pallett, the shifty, strung-out composition major in the back of the class, bored to tears and three steps ahead of the professor, chose to go the orchestral route this time around, utilizing the talented Czech Philharmonic in Prague. Fans of He Poos Clouds' long, dissonant motifs, odd, symphonic percussion, and slightly skewed, indie-prog-rock vibe will find Heartland a bigger, better, and more streamlined collection than the latter was, boasting more than its share of left-field singles ("Midnight Directives" and "Tryst with Mephistopheles" are instant keepers) -- think Grizzly Bear, Patrick Wolf, and Rufus Wainwright attempting an alternate universe mash-up of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and the Flaming Lips' Soft Bulletin. It's a wide, spacious, summer storm of a record that bounces around genres like an open-world RPG game, and while there may be only 12 locations you can fast-travel to, there is enough treasure in each to keep the adventurer occupied for a month of afternoons. ~ James Christopher Monger

商品の紹介

CMJ - "[A] polyphonic concept album that embraces a classic larger-than-life orchestral build-up while playfully adding the repetitive arcs of modern electronic music." Paste (magazine) (p.64) - "Pallett is equal parts mathematician and sonic prankster, his compositions scaling the highs and lows of the musical staff like an ADD mountain climber."
Rovi

〈ファイナル・ファンタジー〉から本名に改名して心機一転、壮大なスケールで繰り広げるオーウェン劇場。ドラマティックなストリングスやエレクトロニックなサウンドが縦横無尽に飛び交うアレンジは、これまで以上にマジカルで冴え渡っている。そしてその中心にあるのは、気怠くロマンティックな歌声。まるで砂糖菓子で出来た遊園地に迷い込んだような、摩訶不思議なポップ・ワールドが全開!
