New Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy - Oh Heartland, Up Yours! (live, acoustic)

The one album for which I am truly excited at the moment is about an imaginary world, and its inhabitants - who all worship their creator, Owen Pallett. Heartland is going to be amazing, and I am already sure of it. The above song, which hasn't made it onto the Internet yet, as far as I know, was recorded at night in a Cardiff car park, and for some reason, the slight background noise makes it sound more like a field recording from Spectrum - one person among many, playing his part, sad and confident at the same time. It's quite beautiful, and I can't wait to hear the full version.

On the pitch of the Avenroe grasses
I will sing, sing, sing to the masses
Oh Heartland, up yours!

Heartland will be released in January. There are more details over at Domino, who are releasing the record. The lyrics to the entire album are here! There will be more Final Fantasy fun to look forward to here this week as well. Yes yes.
