No I’m not a radio station but I do have an album of the week.
Owen Pallett – Heartland
Formally known as Final Fantasy, Owen Pallett parts ways with the moniker and releases his first album under his own name. This album initially caught my attention when I heard it played on Radio K with its unconventional arrangement (loop petal, violin… and thats pretty much it) catchy rhthym and seemingly heart felt and sincer lyrics. If you appreciate musically artistic endevors (like Joanna Newsome, Sufjan Stevens, the Books or Scarlett Johannson’s first album “Anywhere I Lay My Head”) then keep an ear out for this album – particularly the songs “Lewis Takes Action” and “Oh Heartland, Up Yours”. Pitchfork gives this album a rating of 8.6. Upon my first couple of listens I give this album a B+.
