Folk outfit the Head and the Heart performed their pop-inflected single Missed Connection on The Tonight Show Thursday. The track boasts an atmospheric grove of light piano and synths that drift above a steady drum shuffle. Frontman Jon Russell delivered the songs lyrics which in part mirror the bands origin story of meeting at an open-mic night in Seattle with silky ease while the rest of the group joined him on the gang vocals and harmonies.
Missed Connection appears on the Head and the Hearts new album, Living Mirage, which arrives today, May 17th, via Warner Bros./Reprise Records. The album marks the bands fourth LP and follows 2016s Signs of Light. Its also their first without co-founder Josiah Johnson, who amicably split with the group in 2016, though it does boast the return of keyboardist Kenny Hensley.
In April, the Head in the Heart kicked off the first leg of their massive North American tour in support of Living Mirage. The run is set to continue June 21st in Buffalo, New York and stretch all the way through October 20th in Toronto, Ontario.
