"Out of Our Heads" is described as a "compilation of self-contained songs that blur the lines between musical theater and pop. Featuring songs and characters that run the gamut from the absurd to the sublime, the album takes listeners on a journey that is equal parts hilarity and heartbreak."
The recording was produced by Jesse Vargas and Michael Kooman, with musical supervision by Vargas. Sound engineering and mastering are by Paul Vasquez.
Michael Kooman (music) and Christopher Dimond (book and lyrics) are the authors of the musicals Dani Girl, which has been workshopped and developed at the Kennedy Center, American Conservatory Theatre, Cherry Lane Theatre, and the ASCAP/Disney Musical Theater Workshop; Golden Gate (Williamstown Theatre Festival); Homemade Fusion (London’s Ambassadors Theater); and the family-friendly Christmas musical Junior Claus.
