This is Car Seat Headrest’s 2013 LP ‘Nervous Young Man’, and boy oh boy, I love this album, and there’s a lot I could write down about it.

Lord, this album is an atmosphere.

Much like their last LP, they love to lay out the picnic blanket and ease the audience in. And that first track? Robert Smith sounds AMAZING. But then the second track: ‘Primary’ hits us and reminds us that this band is R.E.M.’s cooler older cousin.

They have such a unique sound that ... read more
