WATCH: The Head and the Heart Release New Video for “Summertime”

The Head and the Heart released a new video for “Summertime”. The video was animated by Sub Pop Labelmate Chad Vangaalen.

“Summertime” is one of the featured tracks off the band’s sophomore album, Let’s Be Still, which was released last October. The album marked backup singer Charity Rose Thielen’s first time on lead vocals with the band. According to stereogum.com, “Her influence is a big reason why “Summertime” became such a refreshing departure for a band that typically trades in roots-rock. Even without VanGaalen’s wild animations, it would hit like a flash of color.”

Thielen is responsible for the planting the original ideas for the video’s visual concept. Thielen was quoted saying, ““I have long been a fan of stop-motion animation, specifically the charming 80’s plasticine series, “Frog and Toad Are Friends”, which I adored growing up. Knowing of fellow Sub Pop artist, Chad VanGaalen’s creative mind, I was so excited to bring “Summertime” to his visual table.”

The band is currently on tour in North America. Details about tour dates can be found below. Also the “Summertime” video can be found below as well. More information about Head and the Heart can be found here.
