Car Seat Headrest have shared a second single from their upcoming album.
Building from light keys and percussion, the eight-minute CCF (I'm Gonna Stay With You) evolves into a soaring, hook-laden indie-rock epic with three-part harmonies and storyline lyricism.
It arrives with an animated video by Jayla Smith and Michael Speed, below, and follows the 11-minute Gethsemane in previewing 'The Scholars', a rock opera that centres around a fictional college campus. Head here for more details on the project, which is due out through Matador Records on May 2. Commenting on the character that the new track focuses on, the band said:
"Beolco is a student of Parnassus University, a college founded in ages past by a famed playwright known as the Scop. Beolco is deeply fond of both the college and the Scop, believing himself to be spiritually connected or reincarnated from the playwright. He yearns for confirmation of this secret belief."
Led by Will Toledo, the group will support 'The Scholars' with headlining US shows and festival appearances beginning on May 16 at Salt Lake City's Kilby Block Party. They'll also play New York's Governors Ball on June 7, ahead of dates in Washington D.C., Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, and Oakland during the summer and fall. Tickets are on sale now.
