Formed in Seattle in 2009, The Head and the Heart are an indie folk band who initially self-released this debut album and, based on word-of-mouth alone, managed to sell 10,000 copies after a tour of the Pacific Northwest.

After supporting Vampire Weekend and Dave Matthews, the band were snapped up by Sup Pop who have re-released this remastered edition of the album with an additional track. For those who enjoy the tunes of Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers, this is definitely worth adding to the collection.

Miranda La Fleur is from Readings St Kilda.
