The Head and the Heart

Blue state

Seattle-based sextet The Head and the Heart conveys a spectrum of emotion on its fifth studio album, Every Shade of Blue. The record’s 16 songs showcase the band’s sonic evolution, infusing catchy pop into its signature indie-folk sound, from the highs of “Tiebreaker” to the anthemic swell of “Virginia (Wind in the Night).” The record’s popularity earned the group multiple performances on national television, including “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” and the championship banner drop for the Seattle Sounders. With Illiterate Light, Landon Elliott, and Deau Eyes.
