Car Seat Headrest is an Indie Rock band from Seattle, Washington, led by Will Toledo. The band incorporates influences from '90s Alternative Rock, Lo-Fi, Emo and (occasionally) Synth-Pop bands.Toledo began the Car Seat Headrest project in 2010, releasing four different albums all in one year via Bandcamp. In 2011 he released a fifth album, 5, which eventually morphed into My Back is Killing Me Baby, and then, the work which would define his career, Twin Fantasy. It was here that many of Toledo's hallmarks—long, sprawling, multi-part songs, heavily distorted guitar parts, and densely packed, sometimes obscure references to other works of art and literature—debuted.Toledo followed Twin Fantasy with Monomania, a sequel of sorts, in 2012, before releasing the double-album Nervous Young Man in 2013. How to Leave Town, which Toledo has called an EP but is about as long as Monomania, came out in 2014, made of songs Toledo cut from his next "proper" album. The next year, Car Seat Headrest was signed to Matador Records, and Toledo recruited drummer Andrew Katz, guitarist Ethan Ives, and bassist Seth Dalby to round out the band in the studio and onstage.The band's first record for Matador—and their first as a full band—was Teens of Style, composed mostly of reworked songs from My Back is Killing Me Baby and Monomania. In 2016, Car Seat Headrest relased Teens of Denial, the band's first album of new material. In 2018, The band released Twin Fantasy (Face to Face), a complete re-recording of the band's 2011 breakthrough. In 2020, they followed it up with Making a Door Less Open, which combined their usual alt-rock style with more Synth-Pop production techniques.They're also somewhat known for their side-project: One Trait Danger, a comedic rap group fronted by drummer, Andrew Katz. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Car Seat Headrest (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first few numbered albums by Car Seat Headrest, especially the first two, had more experimental song structures and stream of consciousness lyrics compared to the band’s output from My Back Is Killing Me Baby and onward. Tellingly, only two songs from this era (both from the third album) were rerecorded for Teens of Style whereas large portions of My Back Is Killing Me Baby and Monomania were rerecorded. | |

Epic Rocking | |
| Car Seat Headrest (Music) / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: In spades! Twin Fantasy has "Beach Life in Death" at 12:11 and "Famous Prophets" at 10:21; the 2018 remake pushes them to 13:19 and 16:10, respectively. Monomania has the nine-minute "Souls" (which itself flows directly out of the six-minute "Los Borrachos") and "Anchorite (Love You Very Much)," which runs just over fourteen minutes. | |

Spoken Word in Music: Will often dabbles on this for a good measure. Twin Fantasy consists of several instances of this but perhaps most prominently on "Nervous Young Inhumans." | |

Rearrange the Song: the entire point of Teens of Style and Twin Fantasy (Face to Face). Also, the single edits of Teens of Denial's "Drunk Drivers" and "Unforgiving Girl" are vastly different from the album versions. | |
