Final Fantasy Signs To Domino

Final Fantasy's long-awaited third album, Heartland, will be released in early 2010 and will be handled by his new label, Domino Records, outside of Canada.

The man whose real name is Owen Pallett tweeted that Heartland would come out "the first week of 2010" on Monday.

Domino will release Heartland on CD, double 10-inch vinyl and online. Pallett worked on it for nine months in four countries.

Pallet was previously signed to German label Tomlab outside of Canada. He released 2005's Has A Good Home and 2006's Polaris Music Prize-winning He Poos Clouds through Blocks Recording Club in Canada.
