"Missed Connection" came out in 2019 on Living Mirage, and it's the Head and the Heart at their breeziest: a bouncing piano line, a steady pulse of drums and percussion, and a flash of vibraphone glinting over a chorus made for singing along with the windows down. It was a group effort in every sense. The band produced it with Tyler Johnson and Alex Salibian, who also recorded it, and the songwriting credit runs to seven names, among them Jonathan Russell, Charity Thielen, Matt Gervais and John Hill. Mark "Spike" Stent mixed it bright and punchy.
