{"title":"Car Seat Headrest","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Car Seat Headrest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCar Seat Headrest is the indie rock project of Will Toledo, who began releasing albums on Bandcamp in 2010 (the project name comes from his early practice of recording vocals in the back seat of his car for privacy). After more than a dozen self-released Bandcamp albums, Toledo signed with Matador Records in 2015. The project has since operated as a full band, with Ethan Ives, Seth Dalby, and Andrew Katz forming the touring and recording lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCar Seat Headrest's sound combines indie rock, lo-fi indie, power pop, and post-punk influences with literary, often self-examining lyrical content. Toledo's songwriting frequently builds long-form structures with extended instrumental passages and dense layered arrangements. The 2018 re-recording of Twin Fantasy reworked the 2011 Bandcamp original into a polished full-band statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin Fantasy (Mirror to Mirror) (2011, Bandcamp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeens of Style (2015, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeens of Denial (2016, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin Fantasy (Face to Face) (2018, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking a Door Less Open (2020, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Scholars (2025, Matador)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatador pressings of Teens of Denial, Twin Fantasy (Face to Face), and Making a Door Less Open have been issued in multiple color variants and limited editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Car Seat Headrest typically start with Teens of Denial (2016) or Twin Fantasy (Face to Face) (2018). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003eClassic Rock\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/2010s-vinyl-records\"\u003e2010s\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"car-seat-headrest-making-a-door-less-open-cd","title":"Making a Door Less Open CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaking A Door Less Open is the 2020 album from Car Seat Headrest and the first set of brand-new songs since 2016's Teens Of Denial.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540744843447,"sku":"210000003578","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/3801769-2564704.jpg?v=1781154107"},{"product_id":"car-seat-headrest-teens-of-denial-cd","title":"Teens of Denial CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eHis first real \"studio\" album with an actual band, Will Toledo moves from bedroom pop to something approaching classic rock grandeur and huge narrative ambitions, with nods to the Cars, Pavement, Jonathan Richman, Wire, and William Onyeabor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540754378935,"sku":"210000003582","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/3377795.jpg?v=1781154143"},{"product_id":"car-seat-headrest-teens-of-style-vinyl","title":"Teens of Style LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eCar Seat Headrest is the lo-fi indie rock project of Will Toledo, and although he has released before, this is his first full record with a whole band behind him.
