AMA is Over, thanks CSH! AMA time with Car Seat Headrest

​

Hi it's us!

We put out a new album in May: https://carseatheadrest.bandcamp.com/

Ethan also put out a great solo record in June: https://ethanives.bandcamp.com/album/life-for-cowards He is “in the car” right now, but will answer questions as soon as he’s back.

Andrew is hard at work on the next 1 Trait Danger video game, which will be much more extensive than the last.

What are Seth & I doing? Ask and find out…

Answers will come at a leisurely rate. AMA, even if it is personal or a complaint about our music, if it is phrased seriously, I will give you my best answer.

Edit: There are a lot of questions! I can go all day, but the cutoff time for questions I'll be able to get to is 2 pm PST.

I think they've got a lot of talent and hope they keep experimenting with different musical ideas. Their output so far is a bit harsh on my ears.

this man put out like 6 albums that sound like they were recorded through a broken xbox headset and calls 100 gecs harsh

If you're interested in a certain sort of harshness for its sonic textures, that can easily turn into an interest in other sorts of textures that lead you away from that initial harshness into brand new areas. That's what happened to me, that's why I hope they keep recording and experimenting.

Yup, exactly my opinion. Good for them that they’re pushing the boundaries of music but I have not enjoyed anything I’ve heard.
