Take yourself, right now to a place that will offer you a respite from the grinding noises and distractions that you find yourself always having to drown out with some little method that you’ve convinced yourself really does work. You will need the solitude to fully process and fully appreciate the complexities of the latest Headlights record, a piece of work from the Champaign/Urbana, Ill., five-piece that lives in a delicateness that requires the kind of quiet that can only be found somewhere, hunkered at the end of a rural route road where the coyotes and the opossums reign with beady eyes and stealthy strides. You will need a spot where if a field mouse walked through a tuft of wildly growing cattails and ditch weed, scurrying to get away from a bigger problem, you’d jump at its volume, thinking that you were suddenly being snuck up on by a herd of stampeding cattle. You will need an atmosphere that will sharpen the impact of everything that you’re about to listen to – needing that distinction and amplification for, even with a hushed act of breathing in and out, the words of Erin Fein and Tristan Wraight will fall on you as softly as feathers slowing down, holding back.
