To catch you up to speed, the Head and the Heart have recently signed to Sub Pop records, and upon signing they have released a new track entitled No One to Let You Down. It’s a folky ballad, which is entirely acoustic that is as beautifully written as it sounds. What I love about this song are the vocals and the harmonies. The lead vocal is so perfect for this song, its remorseful reflection on the story being told captures your attention to every word it feels so intimate, as if they are only singing to you.
It’s great to hear that a band like this got signed to a label like Sub Pop. Their initial release of their self titled album was fantastic, and I hope this signing means they will gain more deserved attention nationally. This band is making great music, and they need to be heard.
The song was being given away for signing up for their mailing list, which is well worth it.
