Car Seat Headrest share two new EPs: MADLO Influences and MADLO Remixes

Car Seat Headrest have made two new EPs available to stream and download – MADLO: Influences and MADLO: Remixes.

The former comprises covers of four tracks the band has cited as influences on Making A Door Less Open, including takes on songs by David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Kate Bush, and The Who. The latter is a 5-track EP of remixes that includes re-works by Superorganism, Scuba, yeule, Dntel, and 1 Trait Danger.

Released last year, Making a Door Less Open is the result of a fruitful “collaboration” between Car Seat Headrest, led by Will Toledo, and 1 Trait Danger, a CSH electronic side project consisting of drummer Andrew Katz and Toledo’s alternate persona, Trait.

Comprised of Will Toledo, Andrew Katz (drums), Ethan Ives (guitar) and Seth Dalby (bass), Car Seat Headrest has either released 11 or three albums to date, depending on the way you look at it. A prolific songwriter, Toledo took his moniker from making early recordings in the private environment of his family’s car, releasing a dozen self-recorded and produced albums on Bandcamp and building a tight-knit following. Toledo has since gone from an empty five-seater to selling out tours and filling festival main stages. 2015’s Teens of Style was a collection of songs from his early years. The band’s proper Matador debut, Teens of Denial, followed in 2016 and catapulted them to overnight commercial success and widespread critical acclaim, as well as highlighting Toledo as a prodigious lyricist. 2018’s Twin Fantasy, an epic re-imagination of an album originally released in 2011, demonstrated newfound scale, depth and ambition.
