Car Seat Headrest LIVE on KEXP
Earlier this year I was reminded of how much I love Car Seat Headrest’s song “Bodys,” and it got me even more hyped for their new album, which came out in May. The Scholars is the band’s first full-length release since 2020, featuring Will Toledo’s recognizable vocals over pulsating indie rock rhythms. Don’t miss your chance to see them perform a free in-studio set at KEXP; I recommend getting there early to secure your spot. And if you can’t make it in-person, you can always listen live at kexp.org. (They’re also headlining Bumbershoot day one at the end of the month, in case you forgot.) SHANNON LUBETICH
