Alongside his academic activities, university student Matt Kafker pursues various hobbies and interests, including reading and traveling. Matt Kafker also enjoys listening to the music of a number of bands, including Bon Iver, Radiohead, and Car Seat Headrest.
Car Seat Headrest was formed in Leesburg, Virginia, by guitarist Will Toledo, who began recording songs in his family’s car as a teenager. Toledo’s brand of angsty guitar-based rock carries on the tradition of indie heroes like Stephen Malkmus and Robert Pollard.
Prior to the release of Car Seat Headrest’s first label-produced album in 2015, Toledo had already self-produced and released 11 albums on the music platform Bandcamp. Put out by Matador Records, his 2015 debut studio album, Teens of Style, features a handpicked selection of songs from Toledo’s Bandcamp catalogue.
In 2016, Matador released Car Seat Headrest’s sophomore studio album, Teens of Denial. Featuring Toledo backed by an actual band, the album includes fan-favorite tracks such as “Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales,” “Fill in the Blank,” and “The Ballad of the Costa Concordia.” Since releasing Teens of Denial, the band’s output has included the singles “War Is Coming (If You Want It)” and “Beach Life in Death,” which came out in December 2017.
