Car Seat Headrest - Teens Of Style

Teens Of Style is the tenth studio album by American indie rock band Car Seat Headrest, originally released in October 2015 via Matador Records.

Car Seat Headrest is the project of Seattle singer songwriter Will Toledo. With a vision that is both sweeping in scope and intimately personal, Car Seat Headrest embodies the DIY ethos at its best.

Car Seat Headrest began in 2010 in Will’s hometown of Leesburg, Virginia. Needing a place of solitude (and soundproofing) where he could record his often frantic vocals undisturbed, a 17-year old Will set up shop in the family car (hence the name). From this humble origin, he has since built up a catalogue of staggering breadth and depth. In the last five years there have been over ten releases under the Car Seat Headrest name, one of which exceeds two hours in length.

While the songs of Car Seat Headrest are often long and complex, they are anchored by irresistible melodies and a piercing emotional directness. Dispersed across the globe, the CSH fanbase is the definition of a cult following: several thousand internet denizens who deeply connect with Will’s intensely honest and unfiltered approach to writing and performing.

Teens of Style was their first album recorded for Matador Records. Intended as an introductory compilation for new listeners, it features reworked, newly recorded versions of songs originally released between 2010 and 2012, with the addition of one new composition.

Performers on the album include the live line-up from the time of Car Seat Headrest's signing with Matador; Andrew Katz plays drums, and Jacob Bloom plays bass.

This album is a 2023 repress on black vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed insert and download, pressed in the US via Matador.
