The Head and the Heart

Seattle sextet The Head and the Heart marry indie folk arrangements with a songwriting aesthetic that's located somewhere halfway between Laurel Canyon and the shores of the British Invasion. While the group's shimmery, three-part harmonies put it squarely in the "beard rock" pack that's largely based out the Pacific Northwest, The Head and The Heart sets itself apart with the consistently inventive stylistic left turns its songs make on a very regular basis.
