THE SOUND - HEADS AND HEARTS - VINILO ORIGINAL STATICK RECORDS PDI 1986

The Sound fue un grupo post-punk inglés, formado en 1979 y separado en 1988. El líder del grupo era Adrian Borland y se formó como evolución de su banda anterior, The Outsiders. Compartieron casa de discos con grupos como: Echo & the Bunnymen y The Chameleons, y compartieron escenario con Echo & the Bunnymen, The Comsat Angels, The Au Pairs, Modern Eon, Felt, Medium Medium, U2, Public Image Ltd., Eyeless In Gaza, The Stranglers, China Crisis, Thompson Twins, y Aztec Camera entre otros muchos.

Tras la ruptura con Korova records The Sound fichan con el sello independiente Statik. Con ellos publican dos esplendidos trabajos, el EP 'Shock of Daylight' (1984) y el imprescindible 'Heads and Hearts', álbum editado en 1985. Un retorno realmente vibrante, canciones melódicas y vigorosas, con atmósferas evocadoras llenas de luminosidad, posiblemente en 'Heads and Hearts' la forma de interpretar de Borlan esté en su momento más álgido, desborda emoción y sensibilidad. Un álbum de obligada escucha. Genial.

Heads and Hearts is the fourth studio album by English post-punk band The Sound, recorded in late 1984 and released in February 1985 by record label Statik.Three singles were released from the album: "One Thousand Reasons", "Temperature Drop" and "Under You".

Heads and Hearts was recorded in November 1984 at Townhouse Studios in London.

Andy Kellman of AllMusic opined that the album saw the group "riding the wave of optimism—or maybe it would be better to say enthusiasm or vigor—that shot through them as they found themselves revitalized after parting ways with a major label", citing the album's "sweepingly hopeful sensibility", despite calling the album's first track "one of The Sound's weariest, most exasperated-with-the-rigors-of-existence songs in their quiver".

The first single from the album was "One Thousand Reasons", released in 1984.

Heads and Hearts was released in 1985 by Statik Records. Two more singles followed, "Temperature Drop" and "Under You".

The album was remastered and reissued in 1996 by Renascent along with the preceding Shock of Daylight EP.
