Quote of the Week: Kinky Headphonist

A bit of the lyric from “The Headphonist,” a song off the Mexican rock band Kinky’s new album, Atlas:

At this moment, I’m listening to a very, very quiet song / I’m walking alone again, with my headphones on again … sometimes it seems like everything I see has a sound and if it does — what is the shape of silence?

It’s sung by guest vocalist John McCrea, of the band Cake.
