Every Feeling On A Loop

Description

Just five years ago, when he took a leave from the famous indie-folk group The Head and the Heart, the question was less about where Johnson's path would take him than whether his struggles with addiction would end his music career. Before co-founding the band, Johnson studied mathematics and computer science in graduate school. But the magic of songwriting led him to a life-changing open mic. At Conor Byrne Pub in Seattle, Johnson sparked collaborations with other musicians who would eventually form The Head and the Heart. The band's rise is swift. They build a loyal fanbase and zigzag around the world, playing sold-out shows in historic venues, from The Fillmore to Red Rocks, and appearing at festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza. On "Every Feeling on a Loop," lush musical arrangements and harmonies support Johnson's baritone vocals. Sometimes, the songs feel like prayers. He says he feels like a new person finding his way, charting his course from darkness to the great awakening of morning, using the magic that has been his since the beginning.
