Owen Pallett is Final Fantasy. But Final Fantasy is not just Owen Pallett. This goes out to my readers in Japan (yes, I have some!).Story goes like this: these days, "Hearland", already released last September, just got released in Japan, where the game "Final Fantasy" is very popular. So, in order to avoid infringement issues etc, Owen Pallett will release this album (and possible his prior albums under the moniker Final Fantasy) under his real name, on his new label, Domino.
With that solved, "Heartland" is a 45-minute album featuring the Czech Symphony, plus Jeremy Gara (of Arcade Fire), Gentleman Reg and Nico Muhly. It's a concept album about Lewis, a farmer who talks to his maker, in a world called Spectrum. I'd call it experimenting with classical music.
