Car Seat Headrest, Will Toledo’s main project has announced Making a Door Less Open out May 1 via Matador records. It has been described by Toledo as a collaboration between Car Seat Headrest and CSH, his electronic collaborative project with drummer Andrew Katz and 1 TRAIT DANGER (Toledo’s alternative persona). That’s correct, he’s billed twice.

MADLO was recorded two times, once by CSH and once by Car Seat Headrest combining both a traditional band and synthetic MIDI approach to a singular finish product. According to Toledo:

“The songs contain elements of EDM, hip hop, futurism, doo-wop, soul, and of course rock and roll. But underneath all these things I think these may be folk songs, because they can be played and sung in many different ways, and they’re about things that are important to a lot of people: anger with society, sickness, loneliness, love…the way this album plays out is just our own interpretation of the tracks, with Andrew, Ethan and I forming a sort of choir of contrasting natures.”

It’s their first wholly original project since 2016’s Teens of Denial which put Toledo on the map as an indie DIY darling after releasing nearly a dozen recordings independently. He released Twin Fantasy in 2018, a revision of his 2011 collection of recorded songs and the live album Commit Yourself Completely last year.

Listen to new song “Can’t Cool Me Down” now.

Car Seat Headrest will also embark on a North American tour this Summer including two nights at the Danforth, one of which includes Twin Peaks as an opener.
