Living Mirage is the fourth album from American Indie rockers, The Head and the Heart.
Living Mirage signifies what bassist Chris Zasche describes as a “rebirth, a spirit quest of sorts,” following some changes in the band’s lineup (guitarist-vocalist Josiah Johnson amicably departed after their previous album, Signs of Light).
The album's recording was split between Mojave Desert's "Joshua Tree", Appleton Wisconsin's "The Refuge Fox Cities", West Seattle, Nashville's "Omnisound," and LA's "Barefoot Recordings." Producers Tyler Johnson and Alex Salibian (Harry Styles, Sam Smith) and engineer Ryan Nasci help bring the LP to life.
“In my mind, the songs on this album are vignettes. Like ‘Brenda’ reminds me of when you’re a teenager at a house party. You’re surrounded by noise -- ‘What am I doing here?’ -- and a ray of light comes down and you notice this person. You’re like, ‘Maybe I will stay.’ These songs feel honest.”
- Jon Russell (Vocals)
