TAKE
IT EASY
There’s a song called “City of Angels” from The
Head and The Heart’s third release, Signs of Light,
and the album’s cover image shows the band
lounging around a pool on a sunny afternoon.
All this seems to signal a shift for the
Seattle musicians away from the delicate,
cloudy indie-folk sound they came up under
— the same sound popularized by
contemporaries like Blitzen Trapper, Avett
Brothers and Mumford and Sons.
There are still acoustic instruments, high hip-
pie harmonies and heart-in-your-throat choruses
aimed both for campfire and arena audiences.
But, in a word, The Head and The Heart sounds
lighter but no less overly sincere, occasionally
precious and, at worst, just a little contrived.
The new track “Dreamers” snakes along to a
pop-soul shuffle, “City of Angels” jets down a
sunny SoCal freeway and “Oh My Dear” sounds
like Jeff Buckley.
And throughout the album there’s a high-
gloss retro-pop overlay, like that Instagram
filter, making all your photos look like
bittersweet sunlit memories from the ’70s.
The Head and the Heart plays with Declan
McKenna 7 pm Sunday, Oct. 9, at McDonald
Theatre; $39.50 adv., $42.50 door. All-ages.
