Teens of Denial

Car Seat Headrest

A sprawling, high-fidelity indie rock epic that trades bedroom lo-fi for massive guitars and hyper-detailed narratives of early-twenties anxiety.

May 20, 2016 · High Note Records

Find on Amazon

A high-tension mix of intellectual cynicism and raw, desperate emotional catharsis.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition in 'Vincent' where the circular guitar riff finally breaks into a full-band gallop after two minutes of tension.
The multi-layered vocal chant at the end of 'Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales' that transforms a moment of self-loathing into a communal anthem.
The sudden, jarring shift in 'The Ballad of the Costa Concordia' where the song collapses into a spoken-word inventory of personal failures.
