Headlights - "Cherry Tulips"

Download: Headlights - "Cherry Tulips"

Now here comes something worth getting excited about. Champaign, IL natives Headlights are coming out with their second full-length album on Feb. 19 on Polyvinyl Records.

Headlights' first full-length, "Kill Them With Kindness," was breathtaking. In fact, I think we gave it an "A" last year. If "Cherry Lips" is any indication, this will be a doozy.

In regards to the new record, Headlight Tristan Wraight told Luna Park that they are taking a different approach to making this one.

“It can really exhaust your ear if there’s a huge amount of stuff happening all the time, and that’s one of the things that we learned on Kill Them With Kindness,” Wraight said. “We really love that record and we’re really proud of it, but we also feel a little bit worn out after we listen to it because there’s always so much going on. We just wanted a few opportunities for people who are listening to the record to have a break and have a little bit of small space and a little bit of small sounds happening.”
