Available as a gatefold 2xLP / CD with new artwork on October 16th: Car Seat Headrest’s Will Toledo re-imagines the band’s breakout on Teen of Denial: Joe’s Story. On the original record, Toledo used the name “Joe” as a stand-in for himself. Revisiting Teens in the run-up to its 10th year, he felt compelled to give Joe a backstory and began tweaking the album to tell that tale. “The resulting work feels more like the album Teens of Denial was meant to be,” Will Toledo writes in a new message to fans. “When you’re writing from a dark space, it’s hard to have perspective on where you’re at. This time, I could pull from memories of that darkness, and use the distance and additional perspective of ten years of life to shed a fuller light on the experience. Joe is a character going through some of what I experienced, and some of his own problems.”
