#30 | CAR SEAT HEADREST | Making A Door Less Open
Matador | Bandcamp

According to Sarah Paolantonio: “Records like this make me excited for an artist’s future. It displays they are willing to interrogate themselves and their ways, and that there is more change to come. I commend Will Toledo for going against his own grain and pushing boundaries. Making A Door Less Open is a great record that I believe, in time, will act as a transitional artifact. Whether or not that transition will end here or escalate into something else is not up to us. All we can do is listen and keep questioning ourselves, and leave the art up to the professionals.”
