Teens Of Denial (Digipack Packaging)

Release Date: July 8, 2016

Car Seat Headrest's Teens of Denial from 2016 captures the raw energy of indie rock with Will Toledo's stream-of-consciousness lyrics and guitar-driven arrangements. The album runs on nervous energy and introspective storytelling, with tracks like the 11-minute 'The Ballad of the Costa Concordia' showcasing the band's ability to build sprawling, emotionally charged compositions.

Standout Tracks

• Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales: Six minutes of building tension with Toledo's anxious vocals over driving guitars
• The Ballad of the Costa Concordia: An 11-minute epic that incorporates elements of Dido's 'White Flag' into its sprawling narrative
• Vincent: Nearly eight minutes of melodic indie rock with some of Toledo's most direct songwriting

Mood: anxious, driving, late night, introspective
