My Back Is Killing Me Baby

Car Seat Headrest

Abrasive, hyper-literate lo-fi rock recorded in isolation. Distorted vocals and cheap drum machines capture the frantic energy of a young mind coming apart.

It's like reading someone's frantic diary entries while a lawnmower runs in the background.

A frantic, claustrophobic explosion of nervous energy and intellectualized longing.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, distorted vocal explosion in the final third of Something Soon where the frustration becomes physical.
The way the repetitive, mechanical drum beat in The Drum creates a sense of mounting psychological pressure.
The jagged, almost dissonant guitar interplay that opens No Passion before collapsing into a driving rhythm.
