Someone didn’t do their homework. Classic journalism. Unless it was purposeful, then that’s great comedy.
nope, just pathetic journalism😵💫
lmfao
Is this about calling him Doritos?
lmao
Pfft okay rando ;)
Why does everyone always act like Will’s voice is annoying or bad? Honestly it’s one of the main reasons why I like their music so much. Maybe it’s just me, but every time I hear it I feel like I’m being wrapped in a warm blanket or something, idk. It has so much charm, it fits their sound perfectly imo. Anyway, great video!
yeah honestly i had never heard that before even tho im a big csh fan. i was surprised i think will has one of the best voices i've ever heard, has a real genuine quality to it
I think it's because of how... honest it is. Will doesn't have much of what people would call "talent" for singing. His delivery, filled with the emotional lyrics about himself and his thoughts, are what sell the songs, but his voice is far from the conventional "pretty singer voice"
@@joaoassumpcao3347 yeah i guess but i wouldn't sayh it's just the content of his lyrics that drive it I think he really does have a talented voice, whatever that means.
His voice sounds broken, just like me, that's why I like it
I like how honest and up front it is. It also just goes to show that you don't need to be a technically good singer to sing. If anything, he's inspiring anyone with a voice to sing which I respect.
The people that disliked aren't have got some nice shoulders
their body is going to fall apart at any second
They're the type to go straight to the chorus instead building the verse. They shall not be as rewarded.
They probably have something against dogs
they probably laughed and changed the subject
I’d like to put my hands around them
I'm a recent CSH fan, I'm 62 and love his music. I do believe he's going to be among the most important pop song writers to come along in decades. And part of the attraction was his voice from that Tiny Desk concert. Anyway, thanks for doing this overview. I really enjoyed it!
If anyone is wondering the lo-fi albums he mentions at 2:22 are (from top left over), Come In by Weatherday, The Glow Pt. 2 by The Microphones, Tomorrow is Nearly Yesterday and Everything is Stupid by Crywank, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel, People That Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People In The World by AJJ, and Outdoor Activities by Cyberbully Mom Club
Replying so I can come back and listen to these thank you!
Thank you good human
ajj and crywank are so good 😭
Come In is an underrated album. My Sputnik Sweetheart is an amazing song. I love the Glow Pt 2 and ITAOTS too. They're some of the first albums I got into when starting to listen to these kinds of artists.
tfw i recognized all of the albums and also you got the crywank album name wrong and also i love some of those albums and at least like some of all of them:
Teens of Denial is an album that you fall in love with.
this is the album that I fell in love with
this is the album that I get drunk with
will to lead o my beloved
wait i expected this video to have like a ton of views....your production quality is really good!! this is a hidden gem
lets hope it doesn’t stay that way lol
just like car seat headrest
yeah. but he said michael stripe that’s an automatic downvote
"3" , "4" , "5" , "how to leave town" including "Living While Starving", "Monomania", "Twin Fantasy" are my top albums almost completely equally but everything they have ever released follows closely behind
My daughter loves Car Seat Headrest - took her to see them and was pleasantly surprised at how good they were live. Didn't get to hear the Devo cover, tho! Maybe next time ... :)
My Daughter turned me on to them.. and I turned her on to Devo (gut feeling and uncontrollable urge) ..I saw Devo when I was 12 so it’s cool that my 20 year old can expose me to new music too
I just got into them by listening to Twin fantasy and I think Will is one of the most brilliant artists I've ever seen. Nothing has ever made me feel the way his music does, it sounds like human experience in its truest form
Toledo’s work makes me smile the same way i smile when i think of a friend who got famous for doing what they love. Thanks for covering this. Also, have you seen Adam Driver and Channing Tatum drunk dancing to CSH
i have not seen that video emily please send the link
Just like another comment said ur honestly making the same kind of quality content that a channel with 1mil subs would make. Good shit and really interesting topic
WOW you are too kind. you have no idea how much these comments mean to people like me
yeah this bean therapy guy is a legend and i watched the whole video
csh is my favorite band and sometimes i have a hard time watching these sorts of videos about them bc their music means a lot to me, but i was pleasantly surprised with this one !! this was a really thoughtful and well researched video and i'd definitely recommend it :))
this is such a nice comment 🙂
car seat headrest
I really enjoyed this video, good job! I got to see Will live when he came to Germany and it was probably my favorite concert ever :D
i find it very endearing knowing that a band that has become this popular started with Will recording in his car (and bedroom). it gives me a little hope, especially coming from a family living in close quarters and being iffy about expressing myself.
Pre-matador stuff is always my favorite because the emotions and terrible quality makes every old version better.
Teens of Denial came out when I was 22, 5 years to the day after a traumatic event (one of the top 3 in my life) and I was immediately hooked. Will is a year older than I, so we have had a lot of parallels with growing up.
The authenticity he has with his depression, sadness, and self-hatred is so spot on.
hey idk if you did know this or not but will started releasing in 2008 under the name 'nervous young men' when he was like 15ish. he only released 4 albums during this 2008-2010 period but its where a bunch of songs like boxing day were originally written. will also pulled lyrics from this era too in his new music, such as the line 'im not gonna end up a nervous wreck...' in famous prophets (stars) is from a song during this time.
if you did know then oops sorry for wasting time, i thought maybe it was a little relevant, but idk
edit: really good video btw!
hey thanks for your comment! i do know about nervous young man but decided to to talk about it, as i mostly wanted this video to be about car seat headrest, hence why i also didnt mention 1 trait danger. definitely not a waste of my time to read this tho!
Darth Vader listens to Car Seat Headrest
He’s like a depressed McLovin
1k channel with 100k quality content, you finna blow up if you keep doing these. Keep it up 😩👌
Holy shit this is amazing!!!
1:52 i didn’t realize how much big jacket sounds like a blues song from the 40’s 💀
brilliant dive into csh's discography :)
this is genuinely my comfort video i watch it sm lmaooo
WHAT no way ily
This mini documentary is a little piece of art. It boosted my love for Car Seat. Thanks for the work, i really appreciated it. Much love from Spain 🤍
this was such a great watch!! i'm a fairly new CSH listener and i felt like i was falling pretty hard and fast for all the cool stuff they do, and this really solidified that for me
An aficionate musician here, car seat headrest is one of the greatest influences i have right now, you see, i'm just a stupid kid that plays guitar and sings whatever its in its mind being unable to sing "right", i used to be ashemed of this, but will was in exactly the same situation i am, despite that, he achieved it, he became a rockstar and he constantly become better and better at his writting, i know it's imposible to me to become minimally relevant, but he and car seat headrest shows me that it's not about being the best or having the most complicated structures, you only need passion and feeling to write something to be proud of, good vid btw
I'm pretty new to CSH, so this is a great video for me. Very well produced. I wish you good luck with your other videos and this channel!
When I clicked this i thought the subs would be over 500k
THIS VIDEO IS GREAT. Good job!
Fantastic video, tremendous production values and design. Deserves a lot more views.
Loved the quality of this! Was really surprised when I realized how few views it has, seems like the algorithm is doing some favors for you.
I also happen to be a big weatherday fan and would love to see a video on them sometime!
im gonna cry omg i love csh so much
i came in expecting this to be a meme because of the previous title but came away pleasantly surprised, great job man, probably the best youtube video on carseat as of now
His Memories Cover is one of my favorites Thank you for covering my favorite artist who has shaped my teenage years.
This was a great video, im new to car seat headrest but their music means a lot to me and this video was a brilliant little introduction.
Also for some reason I don’t find wills voice bad?? Maybe in the earlier records but now he definitely has a very soft voice that reminds me of Julian Casablancas and it’s one of me the things I love the most about his music
this is one of my favourite video essays ever, your editing is so damn clean!!! hope ur youtube goes somewhere bc this was really engaging :]
WOW thank u so much 😊
Keep up the great work! I love how concise and informational your video was.
Videos like these that put all my thoughts into words... Congrats on a great video!
P.S. the way your voice broke while talking about MaDLO hit me hard. I don’t know what you’ve been through but i’m sorry you had to. You’re not alone. ❤️
I am so glad this got on my recommend, very good video and I usually get bored during videos and read comments but this video was so good that I didn’t even check them! Great work
this earned a sub, really high quality for how unnoticed the video seems to be
thank you campbells soup
Awesome work, repeating what everyone else said - this deserves so many more views, your quality is great!
Will Toledo released an EP called Starving While Living, but that's a bad name for it.
It should REALLY be "Mumbling While Screaming"
i feel like csh was something i listened to extremely deeply a few months ago when i was at my lowest, its like as i got better i grew out of it. i still listen and enjoy all his songs, hell i dont think ill ever stop listening, but i dont listen in the same way i used too.
dude i feel this
Amazing quality and researched video! You have a great voice and for this kind of content!
wow thanks!
I have listened to one song by this band and UA-cam immediately threw this into my recommended... really enjoyed the video! Will def check out more of their music.
Did you do it?
how does this only have 8k views?! this video was amazing :D
"THOSE ARE YOU GOT SOME NICE SHOULDERS" is the best line ever written
really neat video man! i've been trying to get more into csh because I absolutely adore will's work and even 1td with andrew and will has become one of my favourite bands. it's hilarious hearing about the typical csh listener stereotype because while I love everything I've heard of theirs, I can barely listen to their discography because of my mental state and how fucking... raw the music is. we're all kind of fucked up and csh brings us together. :-)
Can't believe I've just discovered your channel. great content! Would love to see a Crywank vid since i was not expecting to see their album cover here :D
thank you! and i do love crywank, hes on the list
Great video. Just got into car seat headrest. I am being continuously blown away
amazing video !! good editing, you have a nice voice, good info. great job
hey,
really lovely video, made me remember how good and important the remake of Twin Fantasy really is to me. You're video style is really nice, i'll check out your future work too! Hope you're doing well since you mentioned the experience connected to the latest album, sorry to hear, but hope you're all good. Stay safe, all love!
thank you so much!
I recently asked a friend at work for some music suggestions and wrote down a list of five bands he recommended. That weekend, I went online to look them up and listen. Only ONE band caught my immediate attention. From chord one, vocal one, Car Seat Headrest blew me away!!
nice
So nice
rare tuv comment
top tier quality video my man + really enjoyable
Just ran across this video and this IS AWESOME! You deserve many more views my dude!
I definitely don’t deserve anything but thank you :)
We have a really similar relationship with madlo. I really enjoyed the album when it came out and the singles before it, but it was music i was sharing with my significant other at the time who tl;dr was a bad person and it left the entire album filled with stings of bad nostalgia. which sucked because it was especially my favorite tracks and it’s all because my mind associates them with my times with him. Sorry just wanted to share because i’ve rarely heard anyone talk about that with an album and it’s usually just good memories
Bless the algo for more great vids of Mr. Tostito, very pog :3 Srsly tho good stuff, always nice seeing Will get the credit he deserves
You proved yourself worthy for a subscription. Good stuff my guy
This was really well done man! You deserve more subs.
At this point I like to just imagine the titles "Starving While Living" and "Living While Starving" are just interchangeable. Just pick whichever you think sounds better.
Like the two ending tracks of NYM
there's a tumblr post from like 2014 where will called it "living while starving while living" so i just go with that
pretty good video. hope you make more videos.
Surprisingly good script for so few subs. Nice work.
thank you for this video. its really good :)
Been into CSH since 2011 Twin Fantasy. Been so cool watching his popularity explode over the years.
omg what this is so well made why does it only have 80 likes >:(
idk zina, couldnt tell ya
Great vid, keepin up w ur channel now :D
holy shit do i love this video dude! nice job! kinda wanted to go a little more in-depth with the differences between face to face and mirrror to mirror but otherwise, amazing video.
thank you! and looking back, that would have been a really good idea. wish i would have thought to do that
@@beantherapy tbh that deserves its own video, i think what you did here is just as good. cheers dude
Brilliant video, you deserve more subscribers
I also have a really traumatic experience tied to car seat headrest which has made me not able to listen to a lot of their music, just letting u know that I know how u feel and it was so surprising to me that someone else experienced something like this
ill get specific so just warning you, feel no obligation to read, I met someone when I was 18 who really loved car seat headrest, and the remake of twin fantasy had just came out earlier that year, this dude subsequently took advantage of me in a violent way the very same night I had met him so then I couldn't listen to twin fantasy anymore, I still can't and it is sad because I remember listening to TF for the first time and never feeling so like understood and just in love with an album before, after that I just don't feel the same
this video was incredible!!
I love being from Seattle. I always get so giddy when I hear that cool artists I like live in Seattle or are from Washington. And whenever I see any live kexp videos I’m like “oh my gosh!! That’s us!! Oh my gosh!!”
this was so good i rlly enjoyed watching
yay
Can't forget 1 trait danger, which is like car seat headrest if someone gave andrew katz crack.
SORRY ANDREW I MESSED UP IDK HOW THAT HAPPENED IM JUST STUPID
Thx for this, I was gonna see them live in 2020
:(
me 2 :/
sorry about the traumatic stuff, hope you're all good and thanks for the video
Amazing video my guy
Great vid man, really good work.
Just curious what’s the album on the bottom right at 2:23 ?
I wonder what traumatic experience you had. I'm guessing maybe a breakup. I've had a pretty bad car accident while listening to Sufjan Stevens but it just made me enjoy the album more. It was Illinois for anyone wondering.
HOLY SHIT HIS ETHOS ABOUT A WORK NEVER BEING FINISHED I RELATE TO SO HARD
Great video, however I feel you should've mentioned Will's pre-Car Seat Headrest albums, as those are very important to the buildup of his career. He remade and used lyrics from many of those old songs in later projects, as late as 2020's Making A Door Less Open
ALSO u forgot about disjecta membra, an album that was only available for a year that was mostly comprised of outtakes from the Twin Fantasy-Monomania era
your videos are so underrated what the hell
tbh i think they usually get the amount of views they deserve but thanks :)
good work!
Great video man
gr8 video mate
Great little documentary
haha gay furry band go * loud crying noises*
Wait what?
@@brig.badger2896 what what?
So I’ve heard rumors about the furry stuff but has will actually said he’s gay cause idk if there’s a clear answer.
@@brig.badger2896 a lot of his songs are like, all about how he struggles as a gay person and he has said he's gay
@@brig.badger2896 yeah he's a gay furry, in a Reddit ama he confirmed he's a furry and there's quite a few cshr songs about his struggles being gay
nice job on this!
Nice job. Thanks
I came for the CSH history and stayed for the xqc vid, was honestly suprised to find another xqc viewer that has a decent music taste lmao. Quality content mate, keep up the good work. sorry to hear about the shit you went through, hope you improve
THANKS mate I loved reading this comment xqcT
I never thought Will's voice was unconventional until you mentioned it wow, guess I'm A car seat headrest fan after all.
appreciate the video, subscribed
Keep it up, good work
Cool vid! csh rocks
Well done!!
this is awesome!!
Easy to install, I love it
Went to the same undergrad uni that Will did... I can recognize that dorm room furniture anywhere.
