Car 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. The extra beef behind the songs on Teens Of Style is very welcome, as are the extra touches
Will Toledo’s re-recorded version of an album originally released in 2011 speaks to his greatest gifts as a songwriter: wit, cynicism, and an eye for detail that captures teenaged desire and heartache.
In March of 2022, Car Seat Headrest brought their "explosive" (Brooklyn Vegan) live show to Brooklyn Steel in New York in support of their 2020 LP 'Making a Door Less Open.'
Hornet Disaster, Weatherday's follow-up to their 2019 debut Come in, and spiritual successor to 2022's collab release Weatherglow, is their most expansive work to date.
Car Seat Headrest's Will Toledo pulled from the classics when devising the lyrics and story arc of 'The Scholars,' while the music draws, carefully, from classic rock story song cycles such as The Who's 'Tommy' and David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust.'
His 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.
