about

The Men are Rich Samis, Kevin Faulkner, Nick Chiericozzi and Mark Perro. We created Devil Music in our practice space over a weekend in January.

We wanted to give ourselves something enjoyable to listen to with this record... Something that had our personality in it, not just another record to get reviewed, to get into festivals, to get on tv, to participate in some sort of endless, winless game. This isn't a campaign.

Jordan Lovelace (mem. of Pampers) engineered and recorded Devil Music. Jonathan Schenke (mem. of Eaters and engineer of 100's of records) mastered the sessions on a Neve console in New York. These fine gentlemen knew we were after a raw four track sound. They used our strokes on the tape to get us where we wanted to go. Every record sounds a bit different than you think it will.

Some newer things came along for the ride like cassette cut ups, damaged vocal cords from years of yelling, a saxophone and of course the ten new songs. Some old ideas are still in the mix: the tracks were all done live, including the vocals, the packaging/artwork was designed and produced by us.

Teens Of Denial
by Car Seat Headrest

supported by 15 fans who also own “Devil Music”

This album was the first time I heard of CSH. These tunes call out to something deep inside of me. Something nostalgic, yet with the times. They never really get old. The Ballad Of Costa Concordia is, hands down, my favorite track. The song is an eleven and a half minute build-up from Will droning on about dreading life to the point of hating the morning to an all out anger-filled shout of giving up and back down again to a sound that feels almost floaty. It's incredibly satisfying. Spicy Tuna

Twin Fantasy

The original 2011 Twin Fantasy is my favourite album period, (and even hosts my favourite song) and while I have nothing better to do besides write endlessly about why I love this album, I guess I'd just recommend you to buy it yourself. (Mostly because then you'd be supporting Car Seat Headrest) It's such a great way to remaster an album, it's not just revised songs but it retells the story from the present perspective. Couldn't ask for a better remake; throw all your money at this. Bedroom Atlas
