Singer-songwriter Will Toledo has evolved from laptop-recording/Bandcamp maven to the leader of the superb rock ‘n roll band Car Seat Headrest. The band’s outstanding 2016 album Teens of Denial (on Matador) is deservedly on many Best Albums of 2016 lists (including No. 4 on Rolling Stone‘s list).

This week Car Seat Headrest showed up on late night TV and gave a raving performance of their much-loved song Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales with members of The Roots adding great horn support. We loved everything about the performance, which reminded much of the great Okkervil River (the two bands have much in common, including intelligent and be-glassed singers named Will).  Check out the performance below. The official lyric video for the song follows.
