Release Notes:
Internal conflicts within the band nearly kept Headlights third
offering from seeing the light of day. After scrapping the previous
sessions and a departure of a member, these Champagne, Illinois indie
sensations are slated to release 'Wildlife' on October 6th.
Now a four-piece, Headlights build a fuller, more dynamic sound on
their 3rd effort. Doing most of the tracks in one take, 'Wildlife' has
a vibrant, live feel to it, taking their upbeat indie/folk pop to new
levels. Don't be fooled by the mundane band name- this isn't your run
of the mill indie pop. Headlights construct clever melodies,
intelligent songwriting and crisp harmonies that take nods at legends
like My Bloody Valentine but still retain a very modern feel.
The sweet male/female vocals work so well with the music and each song
retains an identity all its own, no two resembling each other, often
sounding like a different band from track to track. Managing to avoid
the all too common trapping of songs running into each other in sound,
Headlights are just as likely to yield jangly guitar rock as they are
majestic, dreamy arrangements and just about anywhere in between.
A personally monumental record for the band, 'Wildlife' shifts from
soaring guitars, acoustic strumming, shoegaze pop, and keyboard hooks
sounding not at all like a band on the verge of breaking up as so much
as a band really coming into their own.
