Coleman Hell spent a couple of years working Toronto open-mic nights hoping somebody would notice, and "2 Heads" is what finally did it. He released the song on February 4, 2015, radio picked it up, and the buzz landed the Canadian singer-songwriter a deal with Columbia; it went on to lead off his debut album Summerland and to anchor his self-titled EP that October.
It's a strange, sticky hybrid: a plucky banjo strapped to an EDM dance pulse, with Hell's dusty, worn-in vocal riding over the beat. He wrote it with Rob Benvegnu and co-produced it with La+ch. The song climbed into the top twenty of the Canadian Hot 100 and the US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, and went multi-platinum in Canada and gold in America.
