Car Seat Headrest have dropped their new song/music video entitled “Hollywood.”
The visual was directed by Sabrina Nichols and it consists of crude, GIF-like animations of different settings that also features bandleader Will Toledo’s masked alter ego, Trait.
“Hollywood” will appear on Car Seat Headrest’s next album Making A Door Less Open, due out May 1 on Matador Records. Check out the new music video for “Hollywood” above.
Will Toledo shared about the track in a press release:
This song is about Hollywood as a place where people go to make their fantasies come to life, and they end up exploiting other people and doing terrible things to maintain their fantasy. There’s this terror you’re going to lose the fantasy, and you’re going to have to face the facts, and some people will do anything to avoid facing that. It’s about that fear, and the pain of being subjugated to someone else’s fantasy against your will, and it’s all tied together under this banner of this physical location of Hollywood that we all know about and dream about, but none of us really want to think about what is going on behind the scenes there.
