Background

Aperture is the Head and the Heart's first studio album since Every Shade of Blue (2022) and their first to be entirely self-produced. [1] In a press release, the band stated that the album's title was a reflection of themselves as a band and the individual band members, further adding that the album's title was also a metaphor for "represent[ing] the choice[s] we all face: to close ourselves off to the darkness or to open up and let the light in. [Aperture is] about hope, resilience, and seeing the world—and ourselves—more clearly." [2]

The album was preceded by the release of the lead single "Arrow" on October 17, 2024 prior to the album's announcement.
