The love that music critics and music enthousiasts on the internet have for voice cracks is simply infinite.

[@DavidMatias]

If you want my honest opinion, I am a bit underwhelmed by the voice crack. I still have to master that art.

[@RollerOfEyes]

Voice cracks can be an emotional thing, and an intentional thing. Just like tension in music, making purposefully aweful sounds for creating a harrowing, or intense paranoid experience. Nothing wrong with that.

Stumbled on to this video, never having heard of this band. It's like two weeks later and I now like Car Seat Headrest. Thanks

[@DavidMatias]

ok I'm seeing a lot of confused comments that think this is about a literal car seat headrest, so I'll explain. Car Seat Headrest is a band that started as a solo project by Will Toledo. The name comes from the fact that Will Toledo used to record vocals in his family's car. They're like lo-fi indie pop/rock, with a very distinct and immediately recognizable sound/style (especially in the early records). I am making a parody of that. Feel free to check out their stuff, it's pretty good! I'd recommend starting with Twin Fantasy. Go for the 2018 version if you want to hear a more mature and well produced album, go for the 2011 version if you want to hear a more raw, lo-fi and intimate version.
