History
Hearts Are Magnets is the fourth overall release of artist Jason Reeves. After briefly attending college, Reeves kept pursuing music in his native Iowa City, Iowa[2] and self-released three albums. Two of these albums, Makeshift Aircraft (2003) and The Nervous Mind Of Love (2004) were sold through online store cdbaby.com and at his shows. Record producer Mikal Blue discovered these albums through his manager, Anna Rambeau, whom herself found the CDs through cdbaby.[3] Blue was interested in working with Reeves and invited him to California to record with him in his studio. Working in Blue's studio, Reeves, Blue and another producer, Curt Schneider, assembled what eventually became the EP Hearts Are Magnets.
