CAR SEAT HEADREST - Faces From the Masquerade 2LP
Recorded over 3 sold out nights at Brooklyn Steel March 29-31, 2022.
Car Seat Headrest revive the live album essentials with Faces from the Masquerade serving as a great entry point into long-running indie band.
Live records serve an important purpose, now more than ever before. Releases are thick and fast. The musician of today is the outmoded embarrassment of tomorrow. Keeping up with the contemporary references and cultural appearances made in this television programme or that TikTok trend is borderline impossible. Live albums, then, serve as a band at their alleged best. Serve up the run of hits and tricks, the new material coupled with a balanced mid-section of firm favourites. It is not for everyone, but the likes of Peter Frampton, Johnny Cash and Cheap Trick all offer some crucial examples of this. Gateways to new music. Car Seat Headrest join the club, hoping nobody bats an eye at Faces from the Masquerade. It is tricky to ignore a double LP, lads.
