Your Heart Breaks is the project led by songwriter and producer Clyde Petersen, formed in Bellingham, Washington, in 1998. Known for intimate, textural arrangements that fuse indie rock and folk, the act collaborates with a rotating roster of Northwest musicians to create songs rooted in queer-themed storytelling and emotional honesty. Over more than two decades, Your Heart Breaks has carved out a distinctive niche in the Pacific Northwest scene by blending melodic hooks with exploratory instrumentals, all while staying true to a DIY spirit.
