The Interchangeable Hearts’ music drips with rich melodies and a musical arrangement that smartly allows the music to sink in without exhibiting a forced complexity.

The Interchangeable Hearts create music with rich textures and haunting melodies. The recent addition of multi-instrumentalist Kirk Heydt on guitar, cello, and saxophone has taken the Hearts exhibition to new heights. Vocalist and keyboardist Lina Hancock’s unique, dreamy voice – reminiscent of Chan Marshall (Cat Power) or Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) – seduces the listener. The smooth bass lines and poignant rhythms forged by Shawn Scott and Ellard respectively, provide solid foundation for the Interchangeable Hearts familiar yet original sound. This group succeeds at something that many bands try but never accomplish, get you to forget you are listening to music.
