Following their 2011 critically acclaimed self-titled debut, Seattle’s The Head and the Heart have released their second album ‘Let’s Be Still’ via Sub Pop through Inertia in Australia.
“There is a certain level of confidence gained from having such an amazing fan base,”says vocalist/guitarist Jonathan Russell. “You start to trust yourself more. When we were busking, we were filling so much space to keep the listener from walking away. Now we are in a very different situation.”
It wasn’t that long ago that the six members of The Head And The Heart were busking on Seattle street corners attempting to attract the attention of passersby. Virginia native Jonathan Russell and California transplant Josiah Johnson formed the core songwriting partnership, which was rounded out by drummer Tyler Williams, keyboardist Kenny Hensley, vocalist/violinist Charity Rose Thielen and bassist Chris Zasche.
That unbridled energy informed their debut album for hometown label Sub Pop, becoming one of the label’s best-selling debut releases. 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.
