History
Your Heart Breaks was started by Petersen in Bellingham, Washington in 1998 whilst studying film production and stop motion animation at Western Washington University.
The band released multiple albums, either by self-releasing or through small independent labels, throughout the 2000s.
In July 2016, in honour of cartoonist, illustrator, and musician Geneviève Castrée who had recently passed, Petersen released From Mount Eerie. It had been recorded in 2008 whilst Petersen had been staying at Castrée and her husband Phil Elverum's house. The music produced was so sad that Petersen had opted not to release it at the time of recording.
In October 2016 Petersen released Torrey Pines, a film he had written, directed, and animated over the previous three years. The soundtrack for which was recorded by Your Heart Breaks and several other collaborators - including Chris Walla.[3]
On 19 April 2019 the band released album Drone Butch Blues on Sofaburn Records. A concept album inspired by the writings of LGBTQI authors, it explores an array of stories surrounding the queer community in the 20th Century. The lyrical themes include forbidden love, the impact of AIDS, and rebellion, as well as snippets of Petersen's own life.[4][5]
