"Well crafted collection of three distinct Eps 1) mellow, somber soft rock 2) more effects on guitars & prominent bass 3) full on moody psych rock"

La Belle Epoque - Triple EP Review
"Through deep imagery and metaphor, HeadShy have produced a debut that, while very long at 69 minutes, manages to unite completely different songwriting directions under one roof. Each section is drastically different from the others, but through expert craftsmanship they are brought together into something as tasty as peanut butter and jelly."

La Belle Epoque - Triple EP Review
"Epoque is a special record made by a special band that’s not interested in following the mold, but rather creating their own."
HeadShy - La Belle Epoque (4/5) Slow, slow, wistful, subtle ballads. Imagine The Bad Seeds with a dash of Portishead. #12wordreviews

Review Coma
" The song develops into an elaborate and often grandiose exercise in how to put together a song for maximum effect. Each piece builds on its musical antecedent in a way that never diminishes each individual piece but allows the song to gain strength from its composite parts. "

"Imagine if Tom from ’500 Days of Summer’ had grown up in the aughts instead of the 80s, and had missed the boat on “sad British pop music.” Instead, HeadShy might be his favorite band. "

MEDICINA
HEADSHY/La Belle Époque (Triple EP): This Austin crew is really more taken with 70s Eno than they are 1890s French whores. Taking Eno's atmospherics as a starting point and adding vibes from various trance and pre-trance modes, this is intellectual trip hop for white college kids trying to hold on from now to spring term. A solid bet for the soundtrack of the times when you just don't feel like getting over it.
