- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
The Half Hearts have been described as a mix between Fleetwood Mac and The
Pixies. Originally from Duluth, MN û this indie pop quartet combines elements
of progressive rock, surf, grunge, cabaret, and neo-classical arrangements.
Each member has a unique style û the Vintage Queen, Twee, Mountain Man, and
Meta-Nerd. You wouldnÆt think this line-up would work, but it comes together
like a classic cheese-wine-fruit pairing.
Uptown Sound is a semi-autobiographical release, chronicling the lives of each
memberÆs move to Minneapolis.
The Half Hearts came together through turmoil û a failed engagement,
homelessness, and some jail time.
The Half Hearts will be on a national tour celebrating the release of their
sophomore album, Uptown Sound, on Apter Records in Minneapolis.
The groupÆs first full-length, After the Flood, was released on Apter Records
in Minneapolis in 2010. It chronicles guitarist-singer Flip ArkularyÆs time
during the 2008 Floods in Cedar Rapids-Iowa City, and his time on Barack
ObamaÆs Presidential Campaign.
