{"product_id":"teen-of-denial-joes-story","title":"Car Seat Headrest - Teen of Denial: Joe's Story (2LP)","description":"Available as a gatefold 2xLP \/ CD with new artwork on October 16th: Car Seat Headrest's Will Toledo re-imagines the band's breakout on Teen of Denial: Joe's Story. On the original record, Toledo used the name Joe as a stand-in for himself. Revisiting Teens in the run-up to it's 10th year, he felt compelled to give Joe a backstory and began tweaking the album to tell that tale. The resulting work feels more like the album Teens of Denial was meant to be, Will Toledo writes in a new message to fans. When you're writing from a dark space, it's hard to have perspective on where you're at. This time, I could pull from memories of that darkness, and use the distance and additional perspective of ten years of life to shed a fuller light on the experience. Joe is a character going through some of what I experienced, and some of his own problems.Early this year, the group returned to the studio with producer Steve Fisk to update accordingly -tweaking lyrics and recording new tunes in the Denial-style, including the optimistic and anthemic Joe Drives Again. The result retains Teens's dark edge and youthful cynicism, but promises a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Toledo writes, I'm so grateful that this is a work that people have kept coming to, and I hope that this presentation does them honor with a fresh offering to the conversation. We've known that it doesn't have to be like this; now we can wonder - 'what it if were like this?'","brand":"Matador Records","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67559201505498,"sku":"N191401224710","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/191401224710.jpg?v=1792165455","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/teen-of-denial-joes-story","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
