The Head and the Heart / The Head and the Heart - SP915

Recorded in early 2010, this is the debut full-length by The Head and the Heart. Self-released in June 2010, the album helped build an impressive head-of-steam for the band through the second 1/2 of the year, gaining fans at influential Seattle station KEXP, local record shops (a consistent top 10 seller for Easy Street and the #1 album of 2010 at Sonic Boom), and venues up and down the West Coast, culminating with signing to Sub Pop Records in November. For this 2011 re-release of the album, “Sounds like Hallelujah” has been re-recorded, live favorite “Rivers and Roads” has been added, and the album has been remastered.

The vinyl version comes in a deluxe gatefold jacket with gold foil printing and includes an MP3 download (320k) of the album. The cover of the vinyl version is different from the CD: it has an off-white border framing the cover image that appears on the CD.

The digital version is presented at a glorious 320k bit rate.

If you pre-order The Head and the Heart CD or LP by April 16th 2011, you’ll receive a limited edition (meaning order now if you’d like one!) photo scrapbook compiled by the band with your order! Oh yeah! There will also be stickers. (Note that the MP3 version of the album does NOT include the scrapbook or stickers.)
