My Back Is Killing Me Baby

Car Seat Headrest

Abrasive, hyper-literate lo-fi rock recorded in isolation. Distorted vocals and cheap drum machines capture the frantic energy of a young mind coming apart.

March 26, 2011 · Cowarun's Bootlegs

Find on Amazon

A frantic, claustrophobic explosion of nervous energy and intellectualized longing.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, distorted vocal explosion in the final third of Something Soon where the frustration becomes physical.
The way the repetitive, mechanical drum beat in The Drum creates a sense of mounting psychological pressure.
The jagged, almost dissonant guitar interplay that opens No Passion before collapsing into a driving rhythm.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
