{"product_id":"head-and-heart-cd","title":"The Head And The Heart CD","description":"This debut by the aptly named The Head and the Heart is a solid showcase for the band's easy, earthy Americana-pop sound that taps into both body parts with the familiar touch of an old friend. The Seattle six-piece has a winning combination of vocals in Charity Rose Thielen (who also plays violin) and core members Josiah Johnson and Jonathan Russell, who deliver refreshingly reverb-free performances; they are masters of heartpounding crescendos and deliriously infectious folkisms (foot stomping, hand-clapping, etc.). Pianos and guitars rule, and smart, touching lyrics are uncluttered by clever instrumental overkill. The carefree \u003ci\u003eCats and Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e opens things up, like a rope swing on a summer day: \u003ci\u003eMy roots have grown\/but I don't know where they are.\u003c\/i\u003e That theme of wandering roots is further explored in the gorgeous \u003ci\u003eDown in the Valley,\u003c\/i\u003e which uses a lithe violin and a beautifully nostalgia-laced vocal melody to sculpt a palpable longing. If you like your new Americana music honest and direct - think Avett Brothers or The Civil Wars - you'll be delighted to discover The Head and The Heart. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: April 16, 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Sub Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 098787091526\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Head and the Heart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772372737,"sku":"The Head And The Heart (1)","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/The_Head_And_The_Heart_The_Head_And_The_Heart_CD.jpg?v=1770488001","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/head-and-heart-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
