We’re going to continue featuring some of the lesser known bands listed on the 2012 Coachella line up that we think you ought to know about before you head out to Indio. The Head and The Heart was one of my favorite live acts of 2011, and their performance at last years FYF Fest was what really sealed the deal. The debut self-titled album was re-issued by Sub Pop after a ton of word-of-mouth buzz started to fly around, and thousands of copies were sold when it was just a self-release album by the band. The band went on to open for acts like Vampire Weekend and Dave Matthews, that alone gave The Head and The Heart massive exposure and helped them gain new fans. The album itself goes for a feel-good indie folk sound that is filled with very heartfelt, sincere and nostalgic lyrics. This band carries everything that I love about Mumford and Sons minus that damn banjo. I highly recommend downloading “Chasing A Ghost” and “Down In The Valley” which happen to be my personal favorites off of the album. Catch The Head and The Heart when they perform at this years Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Saturday, April 14th and 21st.
Check out their live performance on KCRW (HERE) or watch it (HERE).
