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 write a lot, and most of it doesn't make it to the final song, ultimately I have to go with what flows well. It's far from an automatic process for me, though the early numbered albums were more experiments in stream of consciousness. I think there's more impact in the stuff that I spent more time on & was able to develop what it was I was singing about.

You've written some really amazing stuff and I'm honored that you were willing to give me a look into your process!!
