Data Insight
Foster is on all twelve tracks and alone on none of them, the only album where that is true. Innis is the reason: he writes, engineers, plays and mixes across the record, turning the band from a solo project with a live line-up into an actual pair.
Sacred Hearts Club came out in July 2017 and is the first album with Isom Innis as an official member. "Sit Next to Me" reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over two million copies in North America.
