The Kickback – “Headhunter”
A Spill Exclusive Video Premiere
The Kickback‘s debut album, Sorry All Over the Place, produced by Jim Eno of Spoon, has swiftly won fans from every spectrum, including Rolling Stone, Consequence of Sound, The Huffington Post, Nerdist, CMJ, The Wild Honey Pie and more. Collectively, they cite Hunter S. Thompson, post-post-modernism, an inflated sense of self-importance, large families, David Foster Wallace, The Wire, big sounds and then quiet sounds, David Lynch, harmonies, Michael Keaton, and entitlement, as their conceptual inspirations.
Billy Yost on Headhunter video: “We played an afternoon show earlier in the day, so we kind of spent the whole day loading and unloading the van. I remember Jonny getting a text on the way to Lincoln Hall that the show was pretty much sold out. We were all sort of baffled. We were just getting ready to start another tour and this was how we got to leave Chicago. A lot of times we leave for a month and come back and the world has just gone on without you. This felt like we got to kick a few windows out before we got hauled away. We leave again in a couple weeks and this video reminded me I gotta get that jacket cleaned. It’s been at the bottom of my closet for a minute.”
