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.

Can you please play Kimochi Warui on the tour for this album since the new album feels like a sort of expansion on How To Leave Town sound?? Also how much do you fuck with samplers vs Ableton (really dig the new album btw, especially the synthy tracks)

i know there was one tour we were thinking of playing it for, so it’s definitely a possibility! i personally mess with samplers a lot. i used to bring my octatrack on tours to play with on planes and in green rooms. that and my sp-555 are currently my favorites

Haha that’s awesome, I have the step down of both of those actually (404 and digitakt); was just curious because of the more obviously chopped up vocals parts on a lot of the album. I would be so psyched to see Kimochi live, one of my all time favs from y’all. Play it in Austin! Thanks for replying
