Our time in New York captures that momentary magic where we’re playing at our peak and the crowd is responding as one giant body.” – Will Toledo, Car Seat Headrest On March 28th-30th 2022, Car Seat Headrest played three consecutive sold out nights at Brooklyn Steel in New York. An air of celebration, community and showmanship was present, made all the more palpable as the shows were far from a certainty – they took place amidst a year which saw the band having to postpone or cancel a large swath of their North American tour dates due to ongoing health issues. The three night residency is captured on ‘Faces From The Masquerade’, a double album’s worth of live performances that finds Car Seat Headrest at their most playful, exuberant and precision honed. The title alludes to the by now familiar, custom-made gas mask worn by frontman Will Toledo at shows, complete with an expressive LED display for eyes. In addition to the group’s four core members – Toledo, guitarist / backing vocalist Ethan Ives, bassist Seth Dalby and drummer Andrew Katz – they were joined on the tour by keyboard player Ben Roth. From the slow burning and atmospheric ‘Crows’ (“It always felt like the right track to start off the Masquerade tour,” Toledo notes in the album liner notes on the eightminute opener, “it was gloomy, it was dancey, and in ten years we’d never played it live”) to the mosh-pitting and anthemic ‘Fill In The Blanks’ (“We went back to a big, fat rendition similar to the original for this tour, not the funky version we’d been rolling on the Twin Fantasy tour,”) to the sprawling and epic ‘Beach Life-In-Death’ (“We rearranged this one to have a bit more restraint up until the breaking point on ‘- dooooooggssss?’ You wanna keep things dynamic with a 13+ minute song”), to the revisionist ‘Deadlines’ (“After experiencing various mutations throughout the recording process of ‘Making a Door Less Open’, this song got ANOTHER revamp for the live show to turn it into the climactic dance monster it always wanted to be”), ‘Faces From The Masquerade’ is simultaneously a joyride through the greatest hits and a conversation with the devoted and ever-growing following that has formed around the band, their songs and live communions. Bartees Strange joins the proceedings for an interpolation of ‘Can’t Cool Me Down’ and ‘Vincent’ along with his drummer Jordyn, and they “turn it from a spaced-out jam into a big party,” as Toledo notes. “We had a stomp box on stage that would mute the mic in case I needed to cough, sneeze or wheeze. I never used it (let the world hear my wheezing), but this particular night someone managed to stomp on it during Bartees’s solo, so you can hear me giving up on the would-be Vincent chorus when I realize no one can hear me.” Elsewhere, Ethan Ives takes the lead on the fevered ‘It’s My Child (I’ll Do What I Like)’, a track originating from his side project Toy Bastard before joining the CSH fold. “As far as simply getting to ball out as a band, ‘It’s My Child’ always felt like the highlight of the whole show to me,” says Toldeo. Twin Fantasy favourite ‘Sober to Death’ became something of a focal point as well as a mini-TikTok trend throughout the tour, with the song receiving reverential singalongs (as well as a notable streaming bump) night after night wherever it was played. “Another track not originally slated to be a part of this tour – it came up often enough in the polls that it soon got locked in. I think this hushed version gave everyone a welcome chance to breathe, especially this night in New York, where people were getting so wild it felt necessary to dial things down for a few minutes.” Artist Car Seat Headrest Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Matador Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Crows Weightlifters Fill in the Blank Hymn Hollywood Bodys Something Soon 1937 State Park Sober to Death Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales It’s My Child (I’ll Do What I Like) Can’t Cool Me Down Beach Life-In-Death Deadlines Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Car Seat Headrest and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Car Seat Headrest Making A Door Less Open Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Matador | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st May 2020 £16.00 Select options Car Seat Headrest Making A Door Less Open £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Matador Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st May 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Car Seat Headrest Teens Of Denial Rock And Pop | Matador | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 11th July 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Car Seat Headrest Teens Of Denial £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE10911 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Car Seat Headrest Twin Fantasy Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Matador | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 14th February 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Car Seat Headrest Twin Fantasy £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Matador SKU: OLE10921 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Car Seat Headrest Teens Of Style Rock And Pop | Matador | 1LP Released 30th October 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Car Seat Headrest Teens Of Style £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE10881 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Creepshow, The Life After Death Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | People Like You | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 15th October 2013 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Creepshow, The Life After Death £12.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: People Like You SKU: 4682791 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Replacements, The All Shook Down Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rhino | 1LP Released 16th January 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Replacements, The All Shook Down £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rhino SKU: 0081227954802 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Slotface Sorry For The Late Reply Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Propeller Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st January 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Slotface Sorry For The Late Reply £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Propeller Recordings SKU: PRR416 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Flux Of Pink Indians Neu Smell Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Crass Records | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 15th March 2024 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Flux Of Pink Indians Neu Smell £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Crass Records SKU: 321984/2R Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 15th March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Still Corners Dream Talk Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Wrecking Light Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 5th April 2024 £21.00 -
