You can hear other members sing prominently, you can pinpoint contributions not made by Toledo and you get a brand-new sheen of high production values, all of which feel new. For the first time in its history, Car Seat Headrest truly sounds like a fully fleshed-out band and not just a solo project. The biggest thing about Making a Door Less Open is that those old lo-fi elements are now gone. That can come off as admirable or it could rub some original fans the wrong way. After all, this is a group that rerecorded an entire album just to fully realize its leader’s vision of what it should have sounded like all along. Making a Door Less Open is the sound of a band that remains restless and unsatisfied with itself.
Car Seat Headrest trades in its old fuzz guitar style for ‘80s synths and dance-influenced beats, much like The Strokes on their recent release, The New Abnormal.
