Car Seat Headrest performs live at WXPN's 16th annual Non-Comm, recorded live for World Cafe.

It's only June, but there are critics who have already named Car Seat Headrest's Teens Of Denial their top album of 2016. After recording 11 self-released albums in his bedroom and car (hence his band's name), songwriter Will Toledo has released his first studio album of new songs for Matador Records. It's a deep, personal, honest, sarcastic and relatable look at his post-college life — if Toledo doesn't watch out, he is going to be called the voice of a generation.

These songs sound fantastic both on record and onstage at World Cafe Live, where Car Seat Headrest performed live for WXPN's 16th annual Non-COMMvention. Hear the session above.
