![The Head and the Heart perform live in The Current studio
“Soaring vocals” seems to be how Seattle’s The Head and the Heart tend to be characterized in many of its music reviews. Writers use those words to describe the multiple part harmonies anchored in solid songwriting that are all over their debut, self-titled release on Sub Pop Records. Forming in the Summer of 2009, the band has given up its day jobs, academic careers and apartments to tour non-stop. They stopped by The Current before opening for Iron and Wine at First Avenue.
