Car Seat Headrest have shared another selection from their forthcoming new studio album, a self-described rock opera entitled The Scholars. “CCF (I’m Gonna Stay With You)” follows lead single “Gethsemane,” and is accompanied by an animated music video featuring cartoons by Cate Wurtz. Watch it below.
Explaining the song in a press statement, the band wrote: “Beolco is a student of Parnassus University, a college founded in ages past by a famed playwright known as the Scop. Beolco is deeply fond of both the college and the Scop, believing himself to be spiritually connected or reincarnated from the playwright. He yearns for confirmation of this secret belief.”
The Scholars, the proper follow-up to 2020’s Making a Door Less Open, is out May 2 via Matador. Following the record’s release, Car Seat Headrest will embark on a brief headlining tour of the United States, including stops at Salt Lake City’s Kilby Block Party and New York’s Governors Ball music festivals.
