"In a year when most of the hugely acclaimed releases sprang from the electronic genre (The Avalanches' "The Wildflowers", Blood Orange's "Freetown Sound" or ANOHNI's "Hopelessness", just to name a few) and the rest were experimental in some way (Frank Ocean's "Blond", Radiohead's "A moon shaped pool", Kanye's "The life of Pablo", Bowie's "Blackstar" or even Beyoncé's "Lemonade"), a nerdy guy from Virginia came into the scene and, heavily borrowing from the best that bands like Television, Modest Mouse, Pixies and Weezer have to offer, reminded us why "old school music" will never really get old. "Teens of denial" is not innovative, but that doesn't mean it's not creative. It does what "This is it" did 15 years ago, but with better lyricism and way more ambitious musicianship. My favourite record of 2016 so far, hands down."

"Clocking in at around 67 minutes, Car Seat Headrest's Teens of Denial isn't the kind of album you're likely to fully appreciate in one sitting. Too bad for you, because these songs will eventually demand your attention. Once you realize TOD damn well refuses to sit anywhere but the top of your rotation, you'll begin to understand this is far from just another indie release. I've heard many reviewers compare this album to the Replacements' better efforts. While that's a fine compliment, you're going to have a hard time pigeonholing CSH as easily as that. I recommend setting aside a hot summer afternoon with a six pack of beer and some nice headphones, swimming downstream in a glorious, sprawling mess of fun you'll be remembering for years to come. I cannot wait to see where this band takes itself."
