A recent New York Times profile describes Car Seat Headrest's hugely anticipated new album, Making A Door Less Open, as "some of the most direct and accessible music (Will) Toledo has ever made. What’s new here, apart from the rippling synth lines and programmed beats, is the sense of fresh-start possibility and hard-won optimism that infuses nearly every track.”
Created over the course of four years, Making a Door Less Open is Car Seat Headrest’s first set of brand new songs since 2016’s Teens Of Denial. The album is the result of a fruitful “collaboration” between Car Seat Headrest and 1 Trait Danger, a CSH electronic side project consisting of drummer Andrew Katz and Toledo’s alternate persona, ‘Trait’. It sees Toledo embarking on new and imaginative roads to writing and recording, placing emphasis on the individual songs, each with its own “special energy”, resulting his most dynamic and open-ended work to date.
The album has been released with distinct track listings and mixes for digital, CD and vinyl.
