Release Notes:
Headlights are a trio from Champaign, IL, made up of members of Kindercore band
Maserati and Parasol band Absinthe Blind. After name changes, false starts, and
membership adjustments (at one point they were known as Orphans) the group
settled on their current name and lineup (Erin Fein on vocals and keyboards,
Brett Sanderson on drums, and Tristan Wraight on vocals, guitar, and bass) in
2004. The band soon recorded their debut, The Enemies EP, with Adam Schmitt
serving as producer. The record was sold at gigs and through mail order, and
thanks to a year of near nonstop touring, the disc sold out and the band and
their early-'90s American noise-pop sound reminiscent of Velocity Girl and Lilys
filtered through modern electronics found a receptive audience. Polyvinyl took
notice of the band in 2005 and quickly signed them, re-releasing The Enemies EP
in November of 2005. The band kept touring and soon began recording their first
full-length album, which is slated for fall 2006 release.
