Car Seat Headrest is Coming to OKC this Summer

Car Seat Headrest have announced a summer tour as well as a new album titled Making a Door Less Open. The record arrives May 1st via Matador records. The announcement of the new album confirmed that Making a Door Less Open is a collaboration between Will Toledo and 1 Trait Danger, which is a side project of Will Toledo and drummer Andrew Kats under the moniker “Trait.” The album was recorded twice, one version with a traditional rock band (consisting of drums, guitar, and bass) and another within a MIDI setting using only synthesized sounds. The two vastly different approaches were eventually combined.

On the new record, Trait said in a statement, “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…” Today also brought the release of Car Seat Headrest’s new single “Can’t Cool Me Down” which you can check out here:

Car Seat Headrest’s summer tour includes dates with Twin Peaks. The band will be stopping by Oklahoma City on July 25th at the Tower Theatre. For tickets to that show, visit this link.
