The Head and The Heart "Every Shade Of Blue"
FORMAT | Double LP
Titled Living Mirage, the album is the fourth from the band and the first not to feature founding vocalist and guitarist Josiah Johnson, who is replaced by Matt Gervias (husband to singer / violinist Charity Rose Thielen).
The album is described as a “rebirth, a spirit quest of sorts,” by bassist Chris Zasche, with the group meeting at Joshua Tree to write the songs that would make up Living Mirage. The writing and recording process took them all across the US including Appleton, Wisconsin, West Seattle, Nashville, and Los Angeles to create a series of “vignettes,” chronically a variety of stories and perspectives.
Living Mirage lives up to its title, a shapeshifting fever dream of unease, angst, and ultimately hope. “This is literally the most work we’ve ever done on an album”, the band’s Jon Russell remarks, proudly.
