Sigh. The Head and the Heart, ladies and gentlemen. I fell in love upon first listen. This group of twenty-somethings sings and plays as though they are of another time, an older time. With a seemingly clear influence of Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young as well as Leonard Cohen whilst sounding quite Dylan-esque at times, this Seattle folk based group has my heart. There is an overpowering woeful element that is oozing from this bands pours. The Head and the Heart have the added contribution of being pop writers and having a somewhat pop-ish backbone, though I maintain they are a predominantly folk... soulfully folk. These genres fusing together with six brilliant musicians has generated an unerring arrangement of music. This video of Lost in My Mind is amazing. I am constantly drawn to the creative, artistic coups of others and this to me, this whopping pit of passion can not be described in any words, other than beautiful.
