Hearts Hearts is an Austrian pop band from Vienna .
Band history
David Österle and Daniel Hämmerle met at university, where they both studied history and started making music together. Together with Johannes Mandorfer and Peter Paul Aufreiter, they founded the band Hearts Hearts around 2010 and, with Young , their debut album was released in 2015 on the Cologne label Tomlab . The album was initially only released in Europe and later internationally. In 2016 the band was nominated for the FM4 Award, which is presented as part of the Amadeus Austrian Music Award .
The band then played at various festivals, including the 2018 Eurosonic Noorderslag, the Reeperbahn Festival , the popfest and The Great Escape. In 2018, Hearts Hearts released Goods / Gods, their second album, which they themselves locate more in mainstream pop music and describe it as more accessible than their debut album. The second album single Sugar / Money reached number 1 in the radio Fm4 charts. In 2019 they went on tour and played at the Dynamo Festival in Dornbirn , the Beserlpark Festival in Mank and the Sziget Festival in Budapest .
In 2019 Hearts Hearts released a new single, Ikarus (I Feel A Change) , in which they position themselves politically for a change in society. The publication was accompanied by a video that shows the band in recordings from a thermal imaging camera and in which also film clips with "well-known activists who stand for an alternative future, featuring Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Emma González and of course Greta Thunberg ", as well as "political faces that embody the unchanged and retrograde: HC , Putin , Farage ".
