The thing that's truly great about Will is he does what he wants to do. He doesn't care how cracky and off his falsetto sounds. He just fills his music with his true emotion.
Because many people want to hear perfectly clean notes that don't fluctuate at all unless they're purposely putting vibrato into it. Which is good an all but so are voice cracks and raspiness imo.
He seems to be very deliberately trying to make some point about performance space, what's allowed in it, what are an aren't boundaries between artist and audience, etc. Or, he just really wants his friends on camera.
I personally love Will's voice, the voice cracks add character to his voice. This kind of low-fi music is meant to have imperfections and rough edges. If you don't like that stuff of course you won't like car seat headrest.
Paul Pruett His voice is what perfectly works for Car Seat Headrest though, the music wouldn't be nearly as good with a more conventionally good singer imo.
I like his voice too. The songs are supposed to be rough and vulnerable. He makes music coming from a small shy and timid person, so those vulnerabilities add a lot to the music/ his voice cracking shows that he is just a vulnerable kid making songs about his feelings. So yeah, it fits his music. I would be bothered if it didn't fit.
Driving home from work on empty city streets crying like a baby because of how Will belts out with so much emotion “it doesn’t have to be like thiiii-i-i-sss,” in killer whales. Contemplating how I became the one thing I told myself I never would for the last 8 months. A heroin addict. It really doesn’t have to be like this. And I plan to try and get clean for the 2nd time tomorrow. God help me this time.
For all of you folks out there who don't write or play music, I think it's worth mentioning how awesome it feels to belt out like Will does at the end of Killer Whales, especially when it's a melody you've written. It may seem over the top and raw, but frankly, it feels so good to just let it go and belt along with the music, there's really nothing quite like it. There are two general buckets that you can put individual songs into: songs written for others, and songs written for yourself/not for others. Will belting it out like that makes me think that song was definitely more the latter.
Will Toledo is special to me because he truly writes and conveys what’s coming from the depths of his soul. I’ve never seen any other person put… everything out there like that. It feels like I know much more about Will Toledo than I should and it’s almost uncomfortable listening to him sing at times. It really means something to me, even the parts I can’t understand fully because they’re so specific to him and only him. The way he conveys his pain through art helps me stay strong, I think.
Will doesn't need to process his vocals and shave all the edges off to idiot-proof it. People need to understand an 'emotional' performance isn't just someone singing loudly about a breakup - self-disgust and angry desperation and hysterical loneliness are all emotions too, and expressing them in a perfect auto-tuned sheen of radio-friendlyiness neuters these feelings. I admire singers like Will, like Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu or Fiona Apple, who sing even if people tell them they can't or shouldn't. Art shouldn't be dismissed if it isn't 'pretty.' We can have both, and we can have everything in-between. Glad Will is still at it, more powerful than ever.
i love how the band is just sitting down looking so ponderous as soon as they dont do nothing to colaborate to the song. truly my honest reaction to car seat headrest
Will does livestreams sometimes and plays acoustic versions of his songs and some covers too, i don't know if he's played Joe Gets Kicked Out Of School though
will and andrew always look like the mathlete and the rower assigned together for a group project in the music class they both took for an easy A but soon grow a passion for it and become good friends
Lol ppl complaining about his voice. He plays to his strengths and it is definitely part of his aesthetic. Not a big deal when you have great song writing and instrumentals
jaidsalgado His voice is what fits perfectly with the music imo. I love having these more unconventional singers bc it adds something new to the world of music outside of the basics.
His voice compliments the music and lyrics. It's like a well fit puzzle. Just because one can "sing" doesn't actually mean they are artistically gifted
huge deal when our ears have to hear it. its not even fun arty shitty. its just BAD. like really bad. and as for great instrumentals... he had a toy drum play behind him and he just does really basic fingering for his songs....
I haven't seen a single comment talking bad about his voice because the comment section is so full of people talking about how people are talking bad about his voice
Whoever writes the descriptions deserve an award. Perfectly worded every time and honestly adds a lot of color and appreciation to the performance being able to read something as connected to the music as the performers are.
Except for the time they randomly said the lyrics in Weezer's "Across the Sea" haven't "aged terribly well." Talk about pandering. And how rude to the band, who are big enough by now that they didn't have to do the set. Left a bad taste.
@@ThomasBarthoulot I can think of literally hundreds of creepier things off the top of my head. Rapid fire. It's not even in the top million creepiest things ever. People are total drama queens about that album. It's Weezer, for God's sake.
It took me a minute to get behind this. It was the first thing I'd seen/heard of their band and tiny desk is a little weird for that sometimes. But it left something in my brain intrigued, and I revisited a few weeks later. That time it got me. Drunk drivers made me openly weep like a grown ass man. Keep making art.
this is such a great concert. all three songs are performed beautifully. sober to death especially, the way everyone joins in. makes me cry like a little baby.
will singing sounds like he's expelling demons. i feel like i can feel his sadness in it and i think it's beautiful to listen to him cleanse himself every time he performs his feelings like that. that's what makes me like his voice. and once i got used to it in that way i started to just want to listen to it intrinsically
I distinctly remember the parking spot I was in the first time I heard CSH. My college boyfriend insisted I watch this Tiny Desk in the car, and I was annoyed that he was shoving his phone in my face. My annoyance turned to intrigue as soon as I listened to the raw, passionate vocals and lyrics. It wasn’t until my summer internship in DC that I became a superfan. I was lucky enough to see them play at Black Cat that very summer - a much smaller venue as it was 2016! What an insanely beautiful encore, and I got to meet Will after the show. After that, I learned their entire discography by heart. Now 8 years later they are still my #1 favorite band. CSH and I have come a long way over the years. Thank you NPR (and my ex-boyfriend, I suppose) for introducing me to my favorite musical artist!
That really means a lot to hear, somehow.. I’m glad you got to see and meet Will Toledo, especially given everything his music must mean to you. You must have been a similar age to him, too.. I’m 10 years younger than him, and it feels eerily like I’m tracing his ghost’s footsteps every day. Like a one-way communication through time.. He’s an incredibly special human being to me and I wish I could meet him, or at least speak to him and let him know there are others, scattered across time and space, whose hearts beat the same as his. I hold others’ feelings with a lot of importance, so thank you for sharing a bit of your humanity here. Somehow, it feels a little less lonely.
"Here's that voice in your head Giving you shit again But you know he loves you And he doesn't mean to cause you pain Please listen to him It's not too late Turn off the engine Get out of the car And start to walk" I'm glad I stumbled upon this artist. His lyrics/voice/style is honest and real.
Writing from the perspective of someone who's heard both Mirror to Mirror and Face to Face, hearing this rendition of Sober to Death is a beautiful mixture of the 2 concepts. He hasn't yet revisited the album completely, but he's still looking back on the experience in a different way than he did in 2011. Also, getting to see him play guitar while he's singing is pretty rare in the Naked Giants era, so this was fun to stumble onto. I love Will's writing, his vocals, and his performance, and I look forward to many more releases from them.
If anyone wants to know how he plays the drum here. Here are the chords. Verse: E5,D#5,B5,E5,D#5,A5 chorus: E major, B5 bridge: B5,A5. Outro: E major, B5, E major, A5.Figure the order how he does it yourself! Anyway enjoy!
He's a great songwriter - that's why he's here. If Bob Dylan was judged solely based on the merits of his singing voice, he probably would never have even gotten a record deal, let alone sell millions of records.
word bob dylan is a perfect comparison on that front BTW id rather hear this kind of singing rather then perfect pitch ,perfect pitch is annoying weird huh?i guess cuz im FAR from perfect so its more authentic

Will WILL (should) go down as one of the best songwriters of our generation, his way of writing such complex coming-of-age lyrics in a relatable way is unmatched
everyone whos hating on wills voice shoild still check out their recorded stuff, his voice doesnt crack like that nearly as much. personally however i like it a lot, so much raw emotion.
I love him. I'm in love with him. I really l am. He is such a dream holy fuck. I could drown in his voice and watch him strum his guitar all day. I. LOVE. HIM.
@@c4s0uls56 i don’t think I could pick a favourite really. FP, BoCC, cosmic hero, the drum, HSC probably top 5 but I feel like that list changes all the time
i find music so beautiful, its someone showing us the pains and vulnerabilities of their heart; its the greatest gift and wonder to see someone through art
Who needs a full band when you can just have your friends sit next to you and look emo.

Will WILL (should) go down as one of the best songwriters of our generation, his way of writing such complex coming-of-age lyrics in a relatable way is unmatched
if you relate with will toledo that is not a good thing and you will be dead by 30
i relate to will toledo
everyone whos hating on wills voice shoild still check out their recorded stuff, his voice doesnt crack like that nearly as much. personally however i like it a lot, so much raw emotion.
Dude. I haven't even seen a single comment critiquing his voice, but I've seen like 6 or 7 comments exactly like yours.

DOES IT UPSET ANYONE ELSE THAT HE IS WEARING A SWEATER IN THE THUMBNAIL BUT NEVER IN THE VIDEO.
Yes
Now it does.
It was likely destroyed by some weird hippy powers or something
Fuck you.
same thing happened in the Anderson Paak video. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM US NPR
its truly stunning to me that his voice just comes out raw like that its beautiful
this performance of the drum is so underrated, one of the best performances by them imo
this band makes me feel emotions i didn't know i had
I listen to this impatiently, merely waiting for it to be over so I can play it again
Only the tiny desk sound guy could make that mini drum set sound good! Great playing of course too!!
I love him. I'm in love with him. I really l am. He is such a dream holy fuck. I could drown in his voice and watch him strum his guitar all day. I. LOVE. HIM.
bro thats crazy
@@yeeyee5158 and what about it 🤣
i am soulbonded to will toledo’s suffering. i’m obsessed with the fact that he’s still alive. he is a husk of a human being
@@MistyWarriorCathe's so hot i love him
The Drum is such an underrated performance on this TDC
Caleb Crutchfield its so much better than the album version
@@jkelly3319 i personally like the drum from mbikmb better
@@c4s0uls56 yeah that’s a good version too!
@@jkelly3319 my favorite song from Car Seat's entire discog is father, flesh in rags. second is the ballad of the costa concordia
@@c4s0uls56 i don’t think I could pick a favourite really. FP, BoCC, cosmic hero, the drum, HSC probably top 5 but I feel like that list changes all the time
i love this band with a passion
Fr fr no cap on my momma this is the best tiny desk concert
Why is Will wearing a sweater in the thumbnail, but in the video: NO SIGNS OF SWEATER
OH MY GOD
Release the sweater cut
i always almost cry with this Sober to Death version
i find music so beautiful, its someone showing us the pains and vulnerabilities of their heart; its the greatest gift and wonder to see someone through art
if anyone is wondering
the guitar will is playing is an
Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-45ME
will is my transition goals
FOR REAL
Which way?
