Recalling our previous post regarding "indie pop brigade" members Headlights, we're pleased to announce the availability of a new free track off their much anticipated, sunshine drenched emotion machine Wildlife, out in October. Also announced are a slew of new tour dates to get caught up in the Headlights, as well as supporters Anna Rossi, Pomegranates, and the Shaky Hands.

The new track suggests Headlights will follow our predicted road map for their sound: "sweet pop tinged with loss and vulnerability." As most who've heard the name already know, Wildlife was born out of a difficult emotional time for the band, and thus their third crack at an LP is easily their most personal and intimate. Dare we say it is their time to shine?

Wildlife is out October 6th on Polyvinyl. Hopefully by then our penchant for headlight puns will have burnt out.
