Car Seat Headrest: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

February 8, 2016 by BOB BOILEN For a singer who s sought privacy in the parking lot of a Target so he could record vocals in the backseat of his car, Will Toledo hasn t been shy about sharing his work. By age 23, he d already released a dozen albums. Toledo, who records under the name Car Seat Headrest, is prolific but never conventional. He performed this Tiny Desk Concert mostly solo with occasional input from his nearby Leesburg, Va. , friends and Seattle bandmates for a set that represents only a tiny sliver of what you ll find on a Car Seat Headrest album. Those records can be filled with rich textures, chaos and harmony, sometimes in the same few minutes. But what you re about to discover here is a wordsmith with a vision, wrapping his faults and frailties in a DIY sound that s still finely crafted.
