"The first studio album from Car Seat Headrest in five years, The Scholars. From Shakespeare to Mozart to classical opera, Car Seat Headrest’s Will Toledo pulled from the classics when devising the lyrics and story arc of The Scholars, while the music draws, carefully, from classic rock story song cycles such as The Who’s Tommy and David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust. While Car Seat Headrest started as Toledo’s solo project, the four-piece is now fully a band. 'What we’ve been doing more of in recent years is just taking the pulses of each other.' says Toledo. 'It didn’t really feel to me like things got in sync in an inner feeling way until this record, with that internal communal energy. And it’s become that band feeling for me in a much more realized way. That’s been a big journey.' It is a journey that listeners will want to embark on again and again as they absorb and discover the rich depths and clanging resonances of The Scholars." - Matador
