QUICK RIFFS: Owen Pallett - Heartland


Essential Track:



I'd never heard any of the (now legally prohibited) Final Fantasy, save for the Andrew Bird-esque "The Butcher." Heartland continues in the same vein, upping both the energy and the eccentricity of the string-heavy formula. "Lewis Takes Off His Shirt" is the pinnacle of the new sound, jittery and impassioned and uplifiting. For a swirlier effort, try "Keep the Dog Quiet"; for more subdued, seek "Lewis Takes Action."
