About

Will Toledo’s music as Car Seat Headrest has always <i>felt</i> like opera whether he called it that or not—at least, few other indie bands have made the droll monotonies of being an outcast sound so grand. A concept album nominally about a med-school student who discovers her secret powers to heal patients by literally absorbing their pain (yep!), <i>The Scholars</i> is both Toledo and his band’s most conventionally “big” album (soaring choruse, dramatic turn, multi-part songs) and its most cryptic, tucking all those big, obvious gestures into the folds of a story that feels just out of reach by design. .
