Letter on the left:

Hello.

To thank you for your support of Car Seat Headrest, we're sending you something new (and old) from the band that hasn't been announced yet. This is "Teen of Denial Joe's Story," a new recording from the same world as Teens of Denial to commemorate the original group's 10th anniversary this month. Some things will sound familiar, but you'll notice some changes too. You'll find along with a CD copy of Teen of Denial Joe's Story, a note written by Will Toledo providing some context on the new project.

Feel free to post this CD online, tagging Car Seat Headrest and Matador, to make everyone jealous. If you have anything else CSH related from your archives, we would love to see that too. Either by sharing on social media or sending to Matador directly via [email protected]

Thank you.

Second letter transcription in progress!!!! be patient

Sometime last year it was suggested to me that we do something for the ten-year anniversary of Teens of Denial, so I started looking back on the albums to see what we might do. In spite of some of the songs being a regular part of my life for the [???] [???]. It wasn't a record I'd thought much about as a whole since it came out. Most of the songs I'd come up with over a two-year period at the end of my college days. When I was struggling a lot with symbolism and misplaced aggression. But by the time these songs were done, I was living in Washington, Car Seat Headrest was a full band with a record label, and in spite of the turmoil of this writing process the final album was really enjoyable for everyone to work on.
