Lili Carter

This will be the album I remember when I'm older that solely changed my life. All my life before I discovered Car Seat Headrest there was always a cloud of guilt that hung over my head, and I wasn't sure anybody could relate to what I was going through. I found Toledo's lyrics when I was in sixth grade, and as any middle schooler was, was having a hard time getting by. I remember the day I heard Beach Life In Death for the first time, and how gripping it was. It was enough to make me sit through a 12 minuet long song, probably the longest song at the time. It's lyricism that seriously goes straight to your heart and is enough to make you actually think. Toledo is honest, he's not lying or sugarcoating anything that goes on in adolescence. He can turn the simplest lyrics into something beautiful as seen on My Boy, or complicated ones into an entire story. This album is something I would show to every teenager who was struggling like myself. This album made me who I am today.
