VIA PRESS RELEASE | The Head and The Heart have announced the release of a deluxe, remastered version of their RIAA Certified Platinum self-titled debut album on May 1 to celebrate its 15-year anniversary. The release includes a limited vinyl pressing, along with a digital release on all digital platforms.
“Fifteen years ago, we were traveling with burned CDs and cut-up old blue jeans, stamped with “The Head And The Heart” to put the copies in. We had no expectations and a full tank of gas. We had songs and we had each other…Our roots had grown and we were about to begin a wild journey.
In those early days before record labels and long tours, we had a demo of “Lost In My Mind” that we had recorded in our apartment in Seattle in late 2009. It was loose, imperfect, and honest in a way that only first attempts can be. We’re so excited to dust it off and present it to you today!
Listening back to it, we’re transported to that apartment, when all that existed was belief in our songs and each other. Over the last year, playing these songs again has brought us back to the beginning, to that feeling of possibility. And there’s way more coming soon. More dates, More nights to celebrate what this record has meant to us, and hopefully to you.
Thank you for growing with us. Thank you for staying. Fifteen years later, it still feels like we’re just getting started.”
—Tyler Williams, The Head and The Heart
