Twin Fantasy

Product Information

Today I’m returning to this album after quite a while of not listening to it, at least in full. I’ve of course listened to certain songs such as Bodys, Famous Prophets and of course Beach Life-in-Death plenty, but sitting down and listening to the film 71 minutes? I haven’t really done it, at least not in recent memory. Originally released on November 2nd, 2011 and pressed onto vinyl for the first time for Record Store Day 2018. This new pressing is available on white colored vinyl. Hann, Michael (February 16, 2018). "Car Seat Headrest: Twin Fantasy (Face to Face) review – striking remake with extra oomph". The Guardian .

Every morning was the same for the two of us and it felt like a cycle that would never end, but it only got worse. Will Toledo always knew he would return to Twin Fantasy. He never did complete the work. Not really. Never could square his grand ambitions against his mechanical limitations. Listen to his first attempt, recorded at nineteen on a cheap laptop, and you’ll hear what Brian Eno fondly calls “the sound of failure” - thrilling, extraordinary, and singularly compelling failure. Will’s first love, rendered in the vivid teenage viscera of stolen gin, bruised shins, and weird sex, was an event too momentous for the medium assigned to record it.

As the year progressed I started to find ways to deal with these feelings of anxiety, depression, emptiness. It started with me becoming incredibly ill and throwing up whenever I ate anything; this was most likely due to stress. It continued and continued and me and my mum practically dropped school entirely to figure out why I couldn’t eat, but it only got worse.

A weird kind of feeling occupies my brain more frequently than usual. It's a mix of sorrow and... fuzzy feelies. Me and my love, at the moment of me writing this, are going through some very life-changing goings-on. Angst and uncertainty is giving way to warmth and hope. I've been imagining myself more and more surrounded by greenery and beautiful flowers (really didn't like flowers before). I want to look and dress prettier and want to do something meaningful with my life. I think I've been enjoying myself, as a person, a lot more than previously. Self-hate was pretty much consistent. Now I like how I look (more or less), like the way that I live (most often), like what I create (that needs some work tbh), and so on.

Versions

I never thought it would happen to me, but... I've known CSH for a long time. Not like, LONG long, but I've managed to get acquainted with them through this album, show it to my wife of 7 years, get hooked on the band with her, and forget about them after some time. A lot has happened since then. Some rather unfortunate events, I'll say. But that's besides the point. I'm rambling. Would hardly consider this a review. Things are so different now. I think I may be getting on my wife's nerves now with how much I adore this album. It embodies my everyday aura now. And I've built a little hut for it inside my cranium. Time to build little apartments for the rest of Will's catalogue.

I’ve obviously made them listen to this album and probably half of Car Seat Headrest’s discography at this point because they’re still my favourite band.

Statistics

But this is an album about not just a long distance relationship, but a long distance breakup, and right now I’m going through neither, and I haven’t in well over a year. My copy has quite a lot of surface noise, and the sound quality feels really subpar in most of the songs compared to the digital version. Cute Thing" contains elements of the They Might Be Giants song " Ana Ng", written by John Linnell and John Flansburgh

What makes the original so good is the very rough instrumentation and vocals. There is the occasional moment that I prefer on this version, as well as the whole of Cute Thing which is much better than its 2011 counterpart. There was something else I had though; something else that kept me sane, kept me going. That was music. The most important album I've ever listened to. This review has been a long time in the making. Around five years to be exact because that would be when this album came out. Five years ago in 2018 I listened to Twin Fantasy for the first time and my life changed.The copy I have also has a "VX" inscribed in the deadwax on both sides of the first disk, anyone else confirm? The new Car Seat Headrest album, Twin Fantasy, is a completely re-recorded version of an album that Toledo originally released in 2011. There’s not much precedent for this sort of do-over—if this were film, say, it’d be like Steven Soderbergh re-making Sex, Lies and Videotape, which I could actually see him doing at some point. But Toledo, two years after his last batch of new songs, apparently believes enough in this album to think that he can make a better version of it to share with the wider world. I guess it wasn't the time yet, like it is RIGHT NOW, to fall in love with it. I don't know what happened. It's an obsession now.
