yeah it actually caught me a little by surprise. i'd heard some of the songs as live versions and to be honest, they already sounded fully-formed then, so when the album came out with the same songs but with these HUGE, gorgeous arrangements it was like... WOW.

Clerck at the store where I ordered it asked me who the album was by three times (Owen who?!) before he heard it correctly. Shrugged his shoulders to indicate the name didn't ring a bell. Album playing in the background, to which he'd been singing and humming along for some time: Funeral.

One thing that gets me is that it feels pretty continuous with the stuff before -- obviously the same pretty unique sensibility -- but it makes exactly the right changes to open it up to a much wider audience: grander scope, a dash of drums and electric bass, the whole relationship between orchestral instruments and electronic ones. I hope that doesn't sound like I'm just looking at it in commercial terms, but it really does manage to invite a lot more people in without really changing what it's doing.
It's also fun thinking about the concept of arrangements "modeled on the principles of electronic music," in terms of decoding them -- so you get stuff like the bit that works like Neu!, or the bit that sounds like an organ played by a sequencer (and filtered), or brass working like square-wave oscillators...

owen & I are pals & have worked together, cards on table there ok, but that said, what a tremendous album - even the song that bugs me live ("midnight directives") works here, really beautifully, and the sequence as it unfolds is just gorgeous: it's an album I settle into like a great big book. in a sense, it reminds me of what I like about heavy metal: it's daring enough to try to create, in each song & in the songs taken together, a whole world to sink into. I feel like owen's love of his creation, the character & the world in which he lives, kind of achieves lift-off here; it's hard to take on a conceit that doesn't, at first, seem forced, but on this record it all feels really natural to me, which is the difference between a cool-sounding record and the real journey that this one is.
― Lee Dorrian Gray (J0hn D.), Thursday, 4 February 2010 20:35 (3 years ago) Permalink
arrangements "modeled on the principles of electronic music,"
what are these "principles" of electronic music? electronic sound is just another medium for producing oscillations. It is a medium through which the composer often has more precise control, but ultimately it is based on the same acoustic principles as "physical" sound. Square waves, triangle waves, etc were conceptualized and harmonically analyzed long before electronic music came about.

I think he means the set of aesthetic priorities that electronic composers might be said to have - what exactly these are isn't something I'd be in a position to state, but it does seem that composition, for electronic composers, is a different activity from composing on standard instruments of the symphony in some ways, right? or maybe not, just thinkin'

Wow that footage of him doing Lewis Takes Off His Shirt is amazing, that and Tryst With Mephistopheles are my two favorites on the album. I loved the first two albums when they came out but Heartland feels like a combination of the very best moments from them both, it's a huge leap forward and I'm already excited to hear how the next album will sound.
Heartland and the new Hot Chip album have made this a really good start to the year for new albums.

i'm not sure if the songwriting is for me yet, but the arrangements and general sound of the album are v gorgeous and impressive. also there's a really wide variety of textures and melodic styles, but the transitions between them are really effortless and natural. it might just be because it's the only other indie rock violins album i've got, but it reminds me of parenthetical girls' "entanglements" in that way.

Curt1s the "adapted electronic" music part came from an aborted collaboration with OMD, where they asked me to envision some of their early material as orchestral music. It was an impossible challenge... I spent about two days on the intro to "Souvenir" alone, trying to figure out some way of individually voicing a 50-piece string section to approximate the sound of a filter closing on a hissy Oberheim (or Jupiter or whatever). Although I did find some success on "Of All The Things We Made", I eventually had to bail, it was taking too much out of me and my personal connection to those early OMD records is too deep. Revising them seemed like it was belittling them. But some of the solutions that I had come up with over that project stuck with me and I adapted them into the arrangements for Heartland. I could give specific examples but it'd be about as tedious an exercise as trying to write a melody based on an Eigenvector har har har.

― willem, Thursday, 4 February 2010 23:52 (3 years ago) Permalink
Just to be clear, this isn't something that particularly sounds like "let me arrange everything to imitate synths," at least not to me -- it's just something to think about when the arrangements/instruments behave in ways that are a little unexpected. It might not have occurred to me if I hadn't read it somewhere and then thought, you know: ah, yes, those strings there do do that, don't they.
I think I made the "voice mixed too low" note when talking about He Poos Clouds, but it doesn't seem like an issue to me here. (Maybe because the sonic profile of this one is lower and warmer? It felt like more of an issue when the voice was up against a lot of mid-rangey strings.)
BTW, am I alone in this experience, or does this album present to other people at first as great but not-super-lively, and then repeated listening reveals it's way, WAY more lively than you thought at first?

Absolutely. The first listen was very impressive, but I was almost too enmeshed in the arrangements and the leaps forward/sideways in terms of what Owen's been doing with percussion and countermelodies and texture. The second and third were spent wrapping my head around what the hell was going on with Lewis and his wife and Cockatrices and such. And while clearly the melodies were embedding themselves in my brain, it wasn't until recently that I realized how much the album really drives itself forward. There's a KICK to it that appeared in moments on the last two (Dream of W&R, Song Song Song, etc.) but it's somehow less stately/mannered than Has a Good Home and He Poos Clouds.

should not be nearly as catchy as they are. Humming this shit EVERYWHERE. Haven't seen Owen since the He Poos Clouds preview at Lambi - at the time translating the string quartet parts for solo violin was mind-blowing...looking forward to seeing how the new arrangements morph for live concerts.
― Alex in Montreal, Friday, 5 February 2010 03:11 (3 years ago) Permalink
Oh, and while Owen's around answering questions about recording procedures and stuff...where does Spectrum 14th Century fit in?
If Heartland is totally from the perspective of Lewis, is the EP a collection of disparate voices just supplementing with context? Are any of those "Lewis" songs as well, or should we just treat them as vaguely connected bonuses? (Specifically is The Butcher supposed to be in the voice of "Owen, God of Spectrum", because that's the only way I can make head or tails of it).

etc - I was there too! It was a fantastic performance, both by Pallett and his band as well as the orchestra. In the train to Amsterdam I was wondering whether he would use the orchestra to provide the loops he normally does himself, but he did them like he always did. That said, the orchestra was great and really added something to the songs. For some of them these versions were even better than on the album, imo. Specials props to the drummer, he was amazing on his muted (with dish-cloths?) kit. Did not recognize all the songs, maybe some stuff from singles/EP's associated with Heartland were used, I'm not familiar with all of those.
