Island

by Owen Pallett

Island cover art

Serving as the highly anticipated conclusion to a conceptual narrative spanning earlier albums 'Heartland' and 'In Conflict', the Canadian composer delivers a sweeping acoustic masterpiece. The record was recorded almost entirely live with the London Contemporary Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. It strips away complex synthesizers in favor of incredibly lush acoustic guitar and stunning, cinematic string arrangements.
