• Cass McCombs closes his 10th album with the title track, where he sings about the relationship between the heart and the mind. "It's about how the heart and mind are like roommates," he explained to Mojo magazine. "They live together, and they get on each other's nerves sometimes, like roommates do, but they need each other, and when they find each other it's a whole other spiritual feeling. A whole new character."
• Over the course of several years, Cass McCombs collaborated with producers Shahzad Ismaily, Buddy Ross, and Ariel Rechtshaid to record the Heartmind album in Brooklyn, New York, and Burbank, California.
• McCombs and Ismaily co-produced this eight-and-half-minute, largely improvised-sounding song. Musically it's the most unusual track on the record with the addition of Issac Anderson on uilleann pipes. The other musicians are:
  
  Charlotte Greve: tenor saxophone
  Kassa Overall: drums
  Josh Krumbly: upright bass
