And so this is sort of a middle ground where each song can be a character and it’s like each one is coming out on center stage and they have their song and dance.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile Car Seat Headrest started as Toledo’s solo project, the four-piece is now fully a band. “What we’ve been doing more of in recent years is just taking the pulses of each other.” says Toledo. “It didn’t really feel to me like things got in sync in an inner feeling way until this record, with that internal communal energy. And it’s become that band feeling for me in a much more realized way. That’s been a big journey.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is a journey that listeners will want to embark on again and again as they absorb and discover the rich depths and clanging resonances of ‘The Scholars.’ \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?si=EpkzS6OGvfaTXNuF\u0026amp;list=OLAK5uy_lKUmUTeEZiK696GmZnYTH51w2z4ny0ZLg\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Car Seat Headrest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47493629149371,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/files\/CarSeatHeadrest-TheScholars-2LP-01.jpg?v=1772438533","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.mom\/products\/car-seat-headrest-the-scholars-2lp","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
