"Heartland" comes from Infected, the 1986 album by The The, and the credits put Matt Johnson at the center of it: he sings, plays guitar and keyboards, and wrote the words. The music he shares with Warne Livesey, who co-produced it with him and also arranged, engineered, played bass and sang backing vocals. Steve Hogarth sits at the piano, David Palmer plays drums, Luís Jardim adds percussion and Judd Lander blows harmonica, while the Astarti String Orchestra and Gavyn Wright fill in behind them. Zeke Manyika and Tessa Niles join Livesey on the backing vocals, and it all adds up to a big, crowded canvas.
