Drawing from influences as diverse as John Carpenter and Public Image Ltd., Headphone are a cinematic duo founded by Charles H. Garabed and Jean-Michel Pires in Ghent, Belgium in the late '90s. Describing their sound as "pop with a definite dark side", they issued a collection of their early work entitled Work in Progress, 1998-200-, before releasing their debut album proper, Two Stories High, in 2006, and its follow-up, Ghostwriter, in 2008. ~ Jon O'Brien
