Car Seat Headrest have announced a new live album called Faces from the Masquerade. It’s out in full December 8th, and today, the band has shared a live video of their Twin Fantasy favorite “Bodys.”
A 14-track double album, Faces from the Masquerade compiles recordings from Car Seat Headrest’s three-night stand at Brooklyn Steel in 2022. Its name draws on two relevant aspects of the residency: Will Toledo and company asked attendees to mask up in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, but also encouraged fans to “accoutre yourself in whatever further costumery you please,” just as the singer did in his go-to hazmat suit and gas mask.
Not every live album feels that necessary, especially when a band sticks to the version of their music cut to record in the studio. For Csh, however, the project makes sense: the band have long performed newly arranged versions of their songs,...

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Car Seat Headrest, but the indie rock project of Will Toledo is back with a cover of Death Cab for Cutie’s “We Looked Like Giants.”
“We Looked Like Giants” originally appeared on Death Cab’s 2003 album Transatlanticism, and the cover arrives in celebration of that record’s 20th anniversary. The split single also contains a cover of The Beths and Pickle Darling teaming up to tribute another 20th anniversary of a Ben Gibbard classic: “Brand New Colony,” from The Postal Service’s sole studio album Give Up.
Toledo’s rendition of “We Looked Like Giants” stays pretty faithful to its original, albeit with a more post-punk inspired slant. Meanwhile, The Beths and Pickle Darling give “Brand New Colony” a rootsy twang with a healthy dose of banjo plucking. Pre-orders are ongoing for the 7″ vinyl, and you can stream both covers below.
