Headlights

Champaign, IL
Some Racing, Some Stopping is the new album from Headlights, and it'll be available from Polyvinyl on February 19. I had high hopes for this one, and I haven't been let down. Although the band's first full-length was in my top five of 2006, this one is definitely more cohesive. For me, the standout tracks are "Market Girl," "School Boys," and "Towers." Headlights has an extensive tour schedule lined up (as always), playing this time around with Evangelicals. On February 21 they'll be at Iota, which is one of my favorite live venues here in the DC area.
