Car Seat Headrest’s latest studio album, The Scholars, is a serious trip. There’s so much music, this great agglomeration of myriad styles, tones and textures, modulations of mood and urgency. It is the kind of rock opera they only made in the ‘70s. In 2025, to preside upon an album of such scope, feels like an audacious act of pop-cultural subversion.
Car Seat Headrest frontman, producer and multi-instrumentalist Will Toledo has spoken about how his health complications post-Covid have left him spending more time in his head, turning his thoughts over and over, searching for spiritual renewal.
