Gaffa Tape Sandy have signed to Alcopop! Records and revealed a quirky new single, Headlights.

Everything about the music is cheery and hopeful but this only slightly reflects the lyrics which sound more like an existential crisis waiting to happen with lines like ‘You better move fast oh you might not keep your head on, I think you’re a little bit sadder than you let on.’ The song is also incredibly catchy and bound to get stuck in your head for most of the day.

Headlights has been taken from the band’s upcoming EP due to be released sometime this summer. Commenting on the new single Gaffa Tape Sandy said:

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. 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.
