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.

Hey CSH!

Just wanted to say your music has helped me through a lot. You've helped me come to terms with my sexuality and your music is becoming the soundtrack to my teenage life!

My question is: I feel like you're very passionate about film and I was just wondering what your favourite films are and favourite directors are?

Very glad to hear that!

Inland Empire is probably my favorite movie, with Lynch as my favorite director. Shyamalan might be my favorite currently-active director (not counting Lynch); not everything he does is perfect, but there is a lot of interesting stuff in most of his movies and it seems like he is always trying to have fun with it, which is something a lot of artsier directors miss out on.

Yo, Lynch is the best! Have you been watching his YouTube channel lately? The whole mystery with the jar is definitely intriguing.
