The Head & The Heart

Representing Grrrl Music, I had the privilege of attending The Head and The Heart’s exclusive press conference (for °1824) for their forthcoming album, 'Aperture'. After 16 years as a band, their evolution is both undeniable and deeply intentional—this record feels like a reflection of their journey, capturing the emotional complexity that has defined their music from the start.  

From the outset, it was clear that 'Aperture' is more than just an album—it’s a meditation on perspective, growth, and the spaces in between. During the press conference, the band spoke candidly about the creative process behind the record, revealing how their personal and collective experiences shaped its sonic and lyrical landscapes. There was a palpable sense of renewal in their words, as if  Aperture serves as both a window into their past and a lens toward their future.  

I had the opportunity to ask a question, and their response underscored what makes The Head and The Heart so resonant: their ability to weave raw emotion into every note, creating music that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. This press conference wasn’t just about introducing a new album—it was a testament to the band’s enduring artistry and their unwavering connection to their fans.  

As someone deeply passionate about music and storytelling, witnessing this moment firsthand was both inspiring and affirming. Aperture feels like a turning point for The Head and The Heart—a record that captures the essence of their journey while embracing new creative horizons. If this album is any indication, the band’s next chapter will be one of their most compelling yet, continuing to connect with listeners in the honest, heartfelt way that has defined them for 16 years.
