They decided to form a band, and took four other musicians to do so. As The Head and the Heart, they toured half a year in the Pacific Northwest and took an album self-directed. Through their performances they got the attention of record label Sub Pop and they finally took in the spring of 2011 under contract and released the debut album, which bears the band's name as the title. After a slow start, it eventually peaked at number 109 of the U.S. album charts and was ranked one of the Heatseeker charts.
