"It’s a juxtaposed reference to Friday Night Lights, a TV show that excited and moved me and also happened in Texas. Further, ‘Clear Heart’ signifies honesty and transparency, and ‘Full Eyes’ suggests experience."
Hold Steady singer Craig Finn announced this summer that he was working on his first solo album, and now that LP has a title and a release date: Clear Heart Full Eyes will be released Jan. 24 on Vagrant Records. Finn made the record in Austin, Tex. with Spoon producer Mike McCarthy, and he’s planning to tour in support of it next year. If the title sounds like an allusion to a certain television show about high school football, it’s not a coincidence.
