Beheaded is the second studio album by Texas-based indie rock band Bedhead, released 1996 through Trance Syndicate. [3] [4] The album was released in the United Kingdom through Rough Trade, and was reissued on compact disc format through Touch & Go Records on February 20, 2001, along with the band's other two albums WhatFunLifeWas and Transaction de Novo . The album was included in the Numero Group's 2014 boxset 1992–1998 [5] and was also released separately on LP format.
CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that the album "reveals the band's mastery of its technique: Matt and Bubba Kadane's whispered, spoken or half-sung vocals trickle through the plodding, strangely dynamic songs, which are bolstered by the band's three-guitar approach, though not in a predictable strength-in-numbers fashion." [6]
All tracks are written by Matt and Bubba Kadane.
