The Oracle of Hi-Fi, the Headstones' fifth album, came out on MapleMusic in 2002, and it's a record made with a clear head. Singer Hugh Dillon told Q it was his first go at making an album sober, and the Kingston, Ontario, band set out to keep it tight and on target after Nickels for Your Nightmares had sprawled off in several directions at once.
They tracked it in Pro Tools and mixed it on RADAR, stacking most of the performances in digital layers; only "Coffee Cup" was caught live. The result is punk-edged rock with the fat trimmed off, Dillon snarling out front. "Tiny Teddy" is the track that reached the countdowns. It turned out to be the last stop for a while: the band split in 2003 and didn't regroup until 2011.
