Produced by George Perks (SuperGlu), Gaffa Tape Sandy’s new release 'Headlights' - out today (March 20) via Alcopop! Records -  also carries a central mental health message.

“We wrote 'Headlights' as an open embrace to anyone who finds it hard to talk about their mental health, and to serve as a reminder to check up on your loved ones in this busy stupid
world," say the Bury St Edmunds trio. “We wanted the back-and-forth vocal play to feel and sound like a conversation, a playful way of communicating a message that we believe in. It’s important to be lovely to one another, and the people who have been lovely to us are the people who inspired this song.”

The dual vocals of Kim Jarvis and Catherine Lindley over a vivacious three-minute garage pop rhythm section, is also downright catchy melodically. The track is additionally set to appear on the band’s forthcoming EP.
