Headlights - Wildlife

Headlights' third full-length, Wildlife, is a poignant piece haunted by the notions of loss and leaving, yet fueled by the power of survival. Following a tumultuous recording that saw the amicable departure of guitarist John Owen, the band turned the scrapped session into a confident, significantly personal work.Recorded at home and mixed by drummer Brett Sanderson, Wildlife, is a collection of complex tracks filled with youthful laments and songs of friendship and aspiration. Headlights creates a fuller and more dynamic sound on its third album that was written during a time of misfortune. Rather than collapsing under duress of a demanding year, Headlights have survived to surface wirth a collection of songs praising the transience of our friendships, lives and aspirations. Wildlife is a work more elegiac than rousing, where the intimacy and elegance of the songs never fail to remind us of what has been left behind. CD & LP (DL code with vinyl) include five additional prints by artist Samantha Sanborn on 80# uncoated cardstock suitable for framing.
