Car Seat Headrest: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

February 8, 2016 by BOB BOILEN For a singer who’s sought privacy in the parking lot of a Target so he could record vocals in the backseat of his car, Will Toledo hasn’t been shy about sharing his work.

He performed this Tiny Desk Concert mostly solo — with occasional input from his nearby Leesburg, Va., friends and Seattle bandmates — for a set that represents only a tiny sliver of what you’ll find on a Car Seat Headrest album.
