  God what a fucking killer rock record. Car Seat Headrest is a band I started delving into properly last year with their 2018 rendition of Twin Fantasy, and I returned to this previous (sort of, I know Twin Fantasy is a remake but whatever) album after a close friend gifted me the CD printing of the album during Christmas. And I just have such fond memories of listening to this with them - huddled up, hiding from the brutal cold of New York, head-banging sadly to the breakdown of The Ballad of Costa Concordia on the floor of their old pre-war apartment. Despite the deeply depressing lyrics and general subject matter of the album, the memories of sharing it with my friend just make the entire thing such a comfort listen. Every single song is a winner on here.

  Vincent, with it's slow-build intro that leads into driving guitar, killer horn passages, drum fills, and lyrics that hit like a truck, the little la-la-la's and that motherfucking cowbell on Destroyed by Hippie Powers, the intensely personal and vulnerable lyricism on Not What I Needed, those Xylophone Ribs on 1937 State Park, just everything about Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales (that breakdown near the end has made me cry more than once, so beautiful god), it's all just phenomenal, emotionally rich rock music. I love this album so dearly.
