The songs on ''Heartland'' form a narrative concerning a "young, ultra-violent farmer" named Lewis, commanded by an all-powerful narrator—named Owen. It is set in the fictional world of Spectrum.

The lyrics raise all sorts of theological questions about believers’ relationship with a deity and the nature of fate, but the construct is just a blank canvas.

Heartland is the third full-length album by Canadian indie rock artist Owen Pallett, released January 12, 2010 on Domino Records. It was the first of Pallett's records to be released under their own name. Since the album was their first to be released in Japan, they wished to avoid generating confusion with the Final Fantasy video games from Square Enix, and to avoid infringing on any trademarks. Pallett stated that their previous albums will be repackaged and reissued under their own name at some point.[1]

The record was mixed by New York producer Rusty Santos.[2]

The album was a shortlisted nominee for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize.[3]

Concept and development

As a prelude to the album, Pallett recorded an EP: Spectrum, 14th Century. Both the EP and the subsequent full-length album are set in an imaginary realm called Spectrum.[4] The songs on Heartland form a narrative concerning a "young, ultra-violent farmer" named Lewis, commanded by an all-powerful narrator named Owen. According to Pallett, the songs are one-sided dialogues with Lewis speaking to his creator.[5]

In an interview, Pallett commented that the idea behind Heartland is "preposterous. I wanted to have this contained narrative that has the breadth of a Paul Auster short story." Michael Barclay of Maclean's states that the lyrics raise all sorts of theological questions about believers' relationship with a deity and the nature of fate, but the construct is just a blank canvas. Pallett said, "Really, it's just all about me. All records are about their singer. I was trying to play with that."[6]

Pallett has noted that the album was "most inspired" by British electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.[7]
