Island

Almost entirely acoustic, Island begins with 13 darkened chords, and was recorded live at Abbey Road Studios with the London Contemporary Orchestra. The introduction is sound of waking up-alone, and on the shore of a strange land. What follows is a shimmering and luscious orchestral album that draws across the full breadth of Oscar-nominated composer and songwriter Owen Pallett's discography, from Heartland's Technicolor to the glittering, fingerpicked guitar that marked Pallett's first records with their trio, Les Mouches.1. - (i)2.
