Title: A very good effort
Product review: I'm a fan of Pedro the Lion and this new release took a little while to settle with me, but now that it has... i like it a lot. it's nice to see David move in a different direction musically, although his songwriting style and deft, story-like lyrics are still very much intact. i've always enjoyed his melodies the most. they just stick in your brain like the poppiest hooks you can imagine. he reminds me of elvis costello in a weird way. if you're into great melodies and intelligent lyrics that tell stories about life both good and bad take a listen. it's similar to Pedro the Lion however Headphones takes a much simpler route pairing traditional songs and writing with real drums, keyboards and electronic instruments in place of guitars. David Bazan always challenges us to listen and think. one of the great musical minds of the last 10 years, no wonder he's influenced everyone from Helio Sequence to The Way It Is.
