{"product_id":"headphones-headphones-20th-anniversary-edition-remastered-lp","title":"Headphones - Headphones (20th Anniversary Edition \/ Remastered) [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, Headphones arrived as a seismic shift in David Bazan's already formidable canon a collection of synth-driven confessions that push the boundaries of narrative songwriting. Stripped down to it's barest essentials, the album finds Bazan and collaborators Tim Walsh and Frank Lenz constructing an audaciously raw soundscape: no guitars, just synthesizers, live drums, and Bazan's unmistakable vocals. Twenty years later, it remains a masterwork of emotional excavation and geopolitical reckoning, as relevant today as the day it was released. This 20th Anniversary edition, remastered by Christopher Colbert at National Freedom (The Walkmen, Richard Swift, Pedro the Lion), is housed in a gatefold jacket with expanded artwork by Grammy-nominated designer Jesse LeDoux, plus liner notes by writer and Belmont University Associate Professor David Dark. The self-titled album threads a delicate needle, simultaneously personal and prophetic. Songs like \"Major Cities\" tackle the macrocosm of American imperialism with clarity and anger, while tracks like \"I Never Wanted You\" unearth the raw wounds of interpersonal defeat. These are stories of inner and outer collapse, of bullies (both personal and political) wreaking havoc, yet rendered with humanity. Even in it's darkest moments, though, Headphones pulses with the hope that honesty might light a way forward if only we'll bear witness to the truth.On it's twentieth anniversary, Headphones feels more vital than ever. For those who've lived with it since 2005, this reissue is a chance to revisit an old wound, to press on it and see what's healed and what still aches. For new listeners, it's a chance to sit with something audacious and true an album that invites us to reckon with the ways we fail each other and the ways we might still be good. Twenty years on, Headphones remains a rare album that doesn't just speak to you, but asks you to listen harder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas and Matches (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShit Talker (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot Girls (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Never Wanted You (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor Cities (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural Disaster (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHello Operator (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePink and Brown (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWise Blood (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow Car Crash (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Five Chord (Remastered 2025)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas and Matches (acoustic) (Remastered 2025)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 803238083414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suicide Squeeze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.23.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Suicide Squeeze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52028386345191,"sku":"419927","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/2481\/7639\/files\/4416904-3380661.jpg?v=1777671175","url":"https:\/\/monumentsinruin.com\/products\/headphones-headphones-20th-anniversary-edition-remastered-lp","provider":"Monuments in Ruin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
