  • The rice paper sleeve is the best way to store your records. The sleeve is softer than the vinyl and will not give your lp sleeve scuffs like stiff paper sleeves. 
  • The resealable outer sleeve is sure to keep dust and particles out of your super clean lp, while it sits on your shelf. 
  • The 200W ultrasonic cleaner is sure to get used records as clean as the day they were made, giving you a superior listening experience. This should eliminate many of the pops and cracks that is caused by dust and dirt on your record.

The band also announced a special livestream performance from The Belasco in Los Angeles in the coming week. on March 21st. Fans can tune in to the stream beginning at 8:30pm PT on The Head and The Heart and Live NationYs Facebook pages to watch the intimate performance, hear songs from the new album for the first time, and be the first to hear another major announcement from the band about their plans for this summer and fall across North America. Early last year, The Head And The Heart came together in the Mojave DesertYs Joshua Tree where they decided to shed old skin before writing their fourth album, Living Mirage, a sweeping, artful expansion of the earthy folk rock that once defined them. This recent Yrebirth, a spirit quest of sorts,Y as bassist Chris Zasche describes it, came from growing pains after their last album, Signs of Light: the amicable departure of guitarist-vocalist Josiah Johnson, replaced by Matt Gervais (husband to singer-violinist Charity Rose Thielen), and the return of keyboardist Kenny Hensley. With a new beginning underway, the writing and recording process continued out of the desert, moving to Appleton, WisconsinYs The Refuge Fox Cities, West Seattle, Omnisound in Nashville, and Barefoot Recordings in Los Angeles with the help of Tyler Johnson and Alex Salibian (Harry Styles, Sam Smith, Cam) and engineer Ryan Nasci. The result is a series of what singer Jon Russell sees as a sort of chronicle of stories and perspectives. YIn my mind, the songs on this album are vignettes,Y Jon says. YLike YBrendaY reminds me of when youYre a teenager at a house party. YouYre surrounded by noiseYYWhat am I doing hereYYYand a ray of light comes down and you notice this person. YouYre like, YMaybe I will stay.Y These songs feel honest. Y The palpitating-choral YMissed Connection,Y is a poignant snapshot of the anxiety that preceded that growth spurt. YA lot of the beats on that song are quicker, and there are high hats that were never in our music before,Y drummer Tyler Williams says, attributing the new sounds to their love of pop and hip-hop production. The track began as a remembrance of how Jon met his girlfriend, until morphing into a potent metaphor for the bandYwhich met serendipitously around an open-mic night in Seattle 10 years agoYsuddenly wondering, as he recalls, YIs it all going to workY YLiving Mirage lives up to its title, a shapeshifting fever dream of unease, angst, and ultimately hope. YThis is literally the most work weYve ever done on an album,Y the bandYs Jon Russell remarks, proudly.
