Headlights
Headlights make me want to take guitar lessons. Not to “rock out” but simply to feel happy, enjoy life and just live in the moment. Headlights, out of Champagne, Illinois, have captured that feeling like lightning in a bottle. The band’s latest album, “Some Racing, Some Stopping,” was written and recorded in a farmhouse. Can you tell? Maybe, in some small ways. The record is more creative and spontaneous than their previous EP “Enemies”. It helps that the band alternates singers between tunes. That keeps you guessing how the next tune is going to sound because each is different. In fact, each song sounds like a different genre altogether. Indie pop? Indie rock? Or something else entirely? You decide.
Tristan Wraight plays an awesome acoustic guitar. Brett Senderson not only kicks ass on the drums, he also produced this last CD. Nick Sanborn does a phenomenal job with the bass and if you listen to the whole CD, you’ll find out he’s equally fantastic on the accordion. That’s right, accordion.
