“Will Toledo, the 26-year-old who leads Car Seat Headrest, studied the 1990s scene that birthed Wilco and Low, and his knotty record \u201cTwin Fantasy\u201d (Matador) suggests he learned his lessons well. It\u2019s a concept album about teenage alienation and desire, channeling fear and frustration in songs that simmer and then explode.”<\/p>\n
–Mark Richardson in the Wall Street Journal<\/em>, Dec. 18, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n “…the wit and passion of Toledo\u2019s existential angst sound as fresh as ever.”<\/p>\n –Marc Hogan on Pitchfork, Dec. 17, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n “Through Toledo\u2019s signature wry wit and an almost stream-of-consciousness vulnerability at times, \u201cTwin Fantasy\u201d 2.0 rides the emotional roller coaster and occasional awkwardness of young love \u2014 unrequited or otherwise \u2014 armed with a refined vision and cacophony of guitars.”<\/p>\n –Michael Rietmulder in the Seattle Times<\/em>, Dec. 15, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n “Twin Fantasy<\/em> is the kind of album that teaches you how to listen to it while you\u2019re listening to it, a dense, dizzying rock record that\u2019s two parts Baudrillard, two parts Badfinger.”<\/p>\n –J. Edward Keyes on Bandcamp<\/em>, Dec. 13, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n “It’s deeply personal music \u2014 music unconcerned about the scene around it or the acclaim it could earn \u2014 and that’s why it’s worth listening to.”<\/p>\n –Pryor Stroud on Pop Matters<\/em>, Dec. 12, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n “The lyrics are first-class, clever and distinctive, and as you progress through the album the things to which Toledo speaks of begin to accumulate within you, opening up a new level of appreciation, or maybe understanding, of Twin Fantasy<\/i>.”<\/p>\n —Across the Margin<\/em>, Dec. 12, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n “Twin Fantasy is an absolute best-case scenario for Car Seat Headrest fans, whether they’ve heard the original or not.”<\/p>\n –Corey Van den Hoogenband in Exclaim!<\/em>, Dec. 4, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n “If every rock song was this immaculate, we\u2019d call it ‘gold’ instead of ‘rock.'”<\/p>\n —Paste Magazine<\/em>, Dec. 3, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Will Toledo, the 26-year-old who leads Car Seat Headrest, studied the 1990s scene that birthed Wilco and Low, and his knotty record \u201cTwin Fantasy\u201d (Matador) suggests he learned his lessons well.
