Is it just me or did Dear And The Headlights seem to come out of nowhere? They play a spazzy and highly addictive brand of emo folk-rock that just won't get outta my head as of late. "Sweet Talk" is sooooo good. The rest of their debut full-length Small Steps, Heavy Hooves is equally impressive.
Reminding me a some strange amalgamation of The Cure, Brand New, and Bright Eyes, Dear And The Headlights has (in their brief time as a band) already secured a spot at this year's Lollapalooza festival where I'll be sure to catch their set. Small Steps... is a dynamic record that is best when it is raw and coming apart at the seams (as it often seems it is). It is moments of head nodding and gentle folk rhythms punctuated by bursts of anthemic rock fury.
Dear And The Headlights' Small Steps, Heavy Hooves is out now on Equal Vision Records.

I certainly never saw them coming. But I'm pretty glad that they're here. Thanks for the mp3's.
AP.net promoted the hell out of them. I think they got a ton of fans through that.
