aellerton Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Just went live on Subpop with a limited edition "Loser Edition": In 2010, Virginia native Jonathan Russell and California transplant Josiah Johnson formed the core songwriting partnership of The Head and The Heart in their new hometown of Seattle. The band was quickly rounded out with the addition of drummer Tyler Williams, keyboardist Kenny Hensley, vocalist/violinist Charity Rose Thielen and bassist Chris Zasche. Their 2011 debut album on Sub Pop became one of the label's best-selling debut releases to date. In a few short months The Head and The Heart went from playing open mic nights to selling out San Francisco's Fillmore, Seattle's Paramount Theatre, New York's Terminal 5 and more, building a loyal fan base across the country. The new album, Let's Be Still, is a snapshot of a band that didn’t exist just four short years ago. The album was recorded at Seattle’s Studio Litho with assistance from prior production collaborator Shawn Simmons. Later, the band traversed the country to mix the album in Bridgeport, CT, with Peter Katis, revered for his work with bands such as the National, Interpol, and the Swell Season. PRE-ORDER DETAILS & EXCITING NEWS —>If you pre-order Let’s Be Still from us here at Subpop.com, you will receive an instant mp3 download of the first single "Shake". —>When you order either the LP or CD , you’ll receive a limited-edition postcard set of striking black and white candid images of the band on tour. —>Customers who pre-order the LP will receive the limited Loser Edition of the album.

Derek™ Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 How's this compare to the S/T, guys? I've dabbled in that but have never been impressed enough to pick it up. Significant improvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albie007 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 ^imo the s/t was a modern classic after my first listen thru! Only listened to the stream of the new one a couple times and it has yet to grab me. Perhaps with time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'll revisit that S/T for kicks; I enjoyed it enough to keep it on my HD and iPod, but couldn't recite a single track title or standout moment. We'll see if that changes in the near future. Thinking about trying the new album just for the hell of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
