Revisiting Teens in the run-up to its 10th birthday, he felt called to give Joe a unique backstory and began tweaking the album to tell that tale. The group returned to the studio with Teens producer Steve Fisk to update accordingly – tweaking lyrics, revising arrangements, and recording new songs in the “Denial-style,” including ‘Optimistic Son” and the anthemic ‘Joe Drives Again’. The result retains Teens’ dark edge and youthful cynicism, but allows a bit of hard-won compassion into the mix.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Will Toledo:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometime last year, it was suggested to me that we do something for the ten-year anniversary of ‘Teens of Denial,’ so I started looking back on the album to see what we might do. In spite of some of its songs being a regular part of my life for the past decade, it wasn’t a record I’d thought much about as a whole since it came out. Most of the songs I’d come up with over a two-year period at the end of my college days, when I was struggling a lot with cynicism and misplaced aggression. But by the time the songs were done, I was living in Washington, Car Seat Headrest was a full band with a record label, and in spite of the turmoil of the writing process, the final album was pretty enjoyable for everyone to work on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hundred Records","offers":[{"title":"Double LP","offer_id":56795059683708,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":56795059716476,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/9012\/9750\/files\/CSH_TOD_Joes_story_LP_Front_1x1_26508bde-db5c-425e-bd08-d16a0536e635.jpg?v=1779268935","url":"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/car-seat-headrest-teens-of-denial-joes-story","provider":"Hundred Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
