The Beths / Car Seat Headrest

This split 7” features The Beths with Pickle Darling on one side, and Car Seat Headrest on the other. Both bands are celebrating the 20th anniversary of two landmark indie-rock albums that are near and dear to them: The Postal Service’s Give Up and Death Cab for Cutie’s Transatlanticism.

On one A-side is New Zealand indie rockers, The Beths’ delightfully bright cover of “Brand New Colony.” The sonically brilliant reinterpretation features fellow New Zealander, producer and multi-instrumentalist Pickle Darling’s signature finger pluckings and dulcet keys.

The other A-side features alt-rock mainstay Car Seat Headrest’s propulsive guitar-driven take on Death Cab for Cutie fan favorite “We Looked Like Giants.”
