Owen Pallett - Heartland

I think this is the last album I bought multiple copies of. Had ordered it online but they were late in delivering, and I couldn't wait that additional week...

I *own* multiple copies of the album, but my CD is/was a review copy.

Think the most number of copies of one album I've ever bought was 4 of London Calling: original CD, late 90's remastered CD, mid-00's "deluxe edition" CD, and vinyl.

I bought it on iTunes =)

then I burned a copy to listen to in my car =|

then I lent it to my dad and he never gave it back =(

Spinning the vinyl now. Accidentally had it on 33 when I started and got a minute in before I went over and corrected it.

Owen's voice in 33 sounds oddly like Scott Walker, btw.

*on 33

album is really a masterpiece I gotta say & I'm actually p. critical of my friends but this record is always a fantastic trip

”HURRICANE J? HURRICANE....J? THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN YOUR HEAD FINN?”

Thanks guys.

We played Heartland at our record club and Owen very kindly exchanged emails with me about it so I could effectively have him introduce it for us - http://devonrecordclub.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/owen-pallett-heartland-round-36-nicks-choice/

oh wow there's some really cool easter eggs(?) in there! thanks to both of y'all for sharing

Pleasure to read that and great of Owen to do it for you.

Owen’s gig at Primavera in 2010 was immense. I’ve seen some pretty special performances at Primavera over the years and it ranks amongst the finest. I haven’t listened to ‘Heartland’ for a while now but I’m soon to be reunited with all my estranged records. When I am I’ll be reading through that post again and immersing myself in it for sure.

Owen was actually a little shy about it being published, didn't think it'd add much to people's appreciation of the record, but I thought it was amazing.

owen, if i were to come out to the LPR thing would you sample a drink with me

not sure why i found this record so elusive when i listened to it twice last year. put it on again today and it's a totally open world. the strings become percussive and fracturing in "midnight directives" and i'm totally there with them

"last year" meaning 2010, jesus christ @ time

Wait, what?

new stuff is absolutely killer. really hyped for the new LP.

there's new stuff???

4 or 5 new tracks got played during Owen's set at ATP a few weeks back. excitiiiing.

Indeed, very exciting.

this record is prog as fuck & magnificent. so much gorgeous sonic detail. v much approve of this sort of spry composition

Thanks, guy. BTW there is a new album and it is coming out in, like January. It is better than this one in some ways and worse in others (a net gain, imo).

Nothing but Smurfs covers!

is it called Fartland, y/n

Excellent.

yay

presumably delayed until January so as to avoid competing in this year's Best-Of lists, which will (from my end at least) be fairly formidable

excited! especially considering yr strange scales & temperament hints

It was supposed to be called In Conflict but Fartland really speaks to me and I'm having second thoughts

i never thought in my life that the phrase "the stony hiss of cockatrice has cast us into serfdom" would be one of my favourite things to sing outloud so massive shout to you

Why do I feel like there are more than a couple Northern European metal acts who are cursing Owen for penning this lyric before they could?

Did I ever post the photo of Attila Csihar wearing a Heartland shirt

So excited for a new album. Heartland is one of my favourite albums of the decade so far.

^^^^^^^^^ to the millionth power

yeah this album rules, good news!

yay!

They drew him like a Disney kid?

an Oscar nominee.

I thought we were supposed to speak of him in code

That Atilla pic - I thought at first he was zooming down the river in a speedboat like a Bond villain.

Oscar news is awesome, good job Owen!

Congrats and say hi to lupita and j-law for me at the ceremony

if you win you need to finish any speech with "that's how i break it down to an extent"
