Car Seat Headrest comenzó en Leesburg, Virginia, Estados Unidos como un proyecto de Will Toledo. A la fecha han lanzado 13 álbumes, 11 de ellos lanzados por medio de Bandcamp, antes de firmar con Matador Records. El nombre del proyecto fue elegido por Toledo debido a que grababa las voces de su primer álbum en el asiento trasero de su auto. Su estilo abarca principalmente el lo-fi. El proyecto es un excelente ejemplo de la ética DIY.
El proyecto alcanzó un mayor éxito con su álbum "Twin Fantasy" que fue lanzado en 2011

CF I used to like the mornings EmAm I'd survived another night EmAm I'd walk to breakfast through the garden GC See the flowers stretching in the sunlight
FC Now I wake up in the morning EmAm And all the kindness is drained out of me EmAm I spend hours just wincing GF And trying to regain some sense of peace
CD If only I could sustain my anger DmCG Feel it grow stronger and stronger FCD It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin DmC Shakes off the weight of my sins GFC And takes me to heaven
FC I stay up late every night EmAm Out of some general protest EmAm But with no one to tell you to come to bed GC It's not really a contest
FC Maybe you think EmAm I'll learn from my mistake EmAm But not this time GF It's just gonna break me
CD If only I could sustain my anger DmCG Feel it grow stronger and stronger FCD It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin DmC Shakes off the weight of my sins GF And takes me to heaven
CF And if I've lost you for good EmAm Could it have been any other way EmAm Was the water filling up for years GC Or did I wreck it all in a day
FC I'm going to bed now Em I've sunk into my sorrows AmEm And it'll take three hundred million dollars AmDDmCG To get me up tomorrow
DDmCG
FC I won't go down with this shit DmAm I will put my hands up and surrender FC There will be no more flags above my door GDm I have lost and always will be

AAm Let us take you back to where we came in We were united an undivided nation DG We got divided it was something inside us A It was not us
Am We were so naive we were just like animals D Told what to believe by the beasts who took control GA We wanted control too but that was normal
Cause our life was one of survival Am The decisions we've made if you can call it deciding DGA With your life on the line it'd be social suicide to change your mind
So we got mad and we split the scene Am Now we download all of our shit for free DGA It's the new economy we have nothing to offer and we sleep on trash

AAm Let us take you back to where you came in D A man clinging to the cliff of revelation G So scared of what he would find he started crying A it was not me
Stopped at the borderline they took his disguise Am So he read a book that won a Pulitzer prize D It was about death G It didn't help A He saw himself in it
He was disturbed at the conclusions it led to Am But he couldn't say what because the author was dead too DGA And so though he made fun of us he has now become one of us

AD And you wake up trembling E From a dream where I swam into the river D I reach out and hold you in my arms ED I love you I love you I love you
