Heads and Hearts

The Sound’s fourth full-length album was also their first after an early major label stint, but if anything simply continued in the same high quality vein as their remarkable earlier work. Adrian Borland’s at once warm and winning but still calmly commanding air in performance was matched by the rest of the band note for note, and the sense of epic 80s guitar postpunk that wasn’t simply U2 carried over throughout songs like “Whirlpool,” “Total Recall” and “Wildest Dreams.”
