TheOwlMag on Headlights
4 months agoHeadlights Wildlife [Polyvinyl Record Company]
Melancholy and melodic, Headlights’ third album Wildlife navigates the emotional landscape of life, love and loss. This album is both intimate and accessible, an act of catharsis after a shake-up in the band’s personnel as well as personal turbulence for songwriters Erin Fein and Tristan Wraight. Home-recorded and mixed by drummer Brett Sanderson, Wildlife features delicately layered, sometimes ethereal vocals, keyboard and guitar. Headlights spin a moody atmosphere on “You and Eye,” and turn out a rocker with “I Don’t Mind At All.” The variation pays off, and the whole album begs a listen.
