Car Seat Headrest - Teen Of Denial (Joe's Story)

Facts 'Teen of Denial: Joe's Story' is a freshly reimagined take on Car Seat Headrest's beloved breakout, 'Teens of Denial', now celebrating its 10th anniversary. On the original album, Toledo often used the name 'Joe' as a pseudonym - a sly homage to Daniel Johnston. Revisiting Teens in the run-up to its tenth birthday, he felt called to give Joe a unique backstory and began tweaking the album to tell that tale. The group returned to the studio with Teens producer Steve Fisk to update accordingly - tweaking lyrics, revising arrangements, and recording new songs in the 'Denial-style,' including `Optimistic Son' and the anthemic `Joe Drives Again'. The result retains Teens' dark edge and youthful cynicism, but allows a bit of hard-won compassion into the mix.
