Description

With Teens of Denial, his first real “studio” album with an actual band, Will Toledo moves from bedroom pop to something approaching classic rock grandeur and huge (if detailed and personal) narrative ambitions, with nods to the Cars, Pavement, Jonathan Richman, Wire, and William Onyeabor. Teens of Denial refracts Toledo’s particular, personal story of one difficult year through cultural touchstones such as the biography of Frank Sinatra, the evolution of the Me Generation as seen in Mad Men and elsewhere, plus elements of eastern and western theology. The whole thing flaunts a kind of conceptual, lyrical, and musical ambition that has been missing from far too much 21st-century music. Horns, keyboards, and elegant instrumental interludes set off art- garage moments; vivid vocal harmonies follow punk frenzy. The selfish captain of the capsized cruise liner in the Mediterranean in 2013 becomes a metaphor for struggles of the individual in society, as experienced by one hungover young man on the verge of adulthood. The album was produced by Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Beat Happening, Soundgarden) at his studio in Seattle, July- September 2015. This is the first full album of new music from Car Seat Headrest released on Matador.

  • My Current Favorite Album (Sorry Teens of Style, You've Been Bumped to #2)
OK, the only response to my original review was negative, so I have edited it to give you maybe a better idea about this fine album. The theme of the album seems to be a somewhat bemused commentary on drug and alcohol consumption. There are many things I like about the songs--great melodies which at times soar like those from the Beach Boys (Cosmic Hero), along with screaming grunge (Hippie Powers and to a lesser extent Vincent.) But I think it is the genuineness of the album as a whole that I most appreciate. I don't like Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales because it comes off as preachy (possibly it was meant to be ironic?), but if it saves one life it's worth it My favorites are the intensely driving Vincent (listen before watching the video) and the ruminative Costa Concordia, essentially a suite which at times has lyrics coming from the standpoint of Toledo, Captain Schettino, and from the ship itself with the great line "It'll take 300 million dollars/To get me up tomorrow." Hippie Powers and Drugs with Friends are also very strong. The title suggests a generational attitude toward drugs, references to which are found throughout. If you liked Teens of Style, you'll love this album. If you're looking for something cutesy or polished, this ain't it. ... show more

  • This is my favorite album of 2016.
This was my introduction to CSH and it's good to the point that I almost dread whatever they do next as I feel I will always compare it to this masterpiece. I listen to most music produced from the 50's to today, most genres, from Metal to Folk and everything in between. I was drawn in by fill in the blank that I saw performed on the Late Show and was blown away. After weeks of listening to this cover to cover, I have to say thats not even the best and I've actually tired of it. Like a lot of great albums, the songs you skip over end up being the best when you give them a chance. Joe gets kicked out of school is definitely among my favorite songs ever by any band. The Ballad of the Costa Concordia I skipped a lot in the early days but now I put it up as loud as I can. I feel I could review every song on here and explain its greatness individually but you really just need to give this album a chance. If you like one song, you will like 75% or more of this album. Connect the Dot's is my least favorite, but it's growing on me. ... show more

  • And I'm not even good at it but it's everywhere because I can't remember ...
I-Robot in Vincent? Ramones, Hendrix, Police, of course the Beatles, it's ridiculous. "great artists steal." Picasso. And I'm not even good at it but it's everywhere. Bad ass yet Beautiful. Made me cry. Laugh. Think. fear but Hope. Social responsibility. For a 57 year old white guy with teenage kids that means a lot these days. Thank you dudes. Buddha is smiling brightly. Afterthought: "Connect The Dots" I am pretty sure is Green Day. Anyone with some help here? Rolling Stone completely dropped the ball sending a kid to review this album and it still made #4 on their chart for the year. Tell mother I won't be coming home. I have been destroyed by hippie powers. After after thought: my 17 year old son doesn't know who the Beach Boys are. Crimes against humanity and I feel like I committed it. Yes, I am pretty sure Will makes the Police's "Mother" palatable. ... show more

  • Best Album of the Year
Perfect album. The last time I got this excited about an album was when I first heard Bloc Party's Silent Alarm. Toledo has nailed the early 90s indie rock sound (which itself echoed the late 60s, early 70s proto-punk), but he's incorporated the best of the generation of rock and roll that's emerged since then. The power of this album goes beyond that though. Every once in a while, you get to hear the sound of an artist coming into himself. Think OK Computer, Midnight Marauders, or In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. There's this moment when the artist finally figures out how to say what he's been trying to say. Toledo says it brilliantly here. ... show more

  • Banger (mental health album)
One of those albums you can enjoy from beginning to end without skipping a track. May not appeal to everyone since the lyrics go into emotional states about things. However, the arrangements are amazing.
