History

Historical Context

The Head and the Heart's upcoming album, *Aperture*, reflects a trend of artists self-producing their work, reminiscent of the 1970s music scene where bands sought creative control. This shift often leads to more authentic sound and artistic expression, paralleling the rise of independent record labels that emerged during that era, allowing musicians to explore their unique styles without major label constraints.
