The Scholars

The Scholars is the thirteenth studio album by American indie rock band Car Seat Headrest, released on May 2, 2025, through Matador Records. Work on the album began in spring 2023, after frontman Will Toledo began to recover from long COVID and histamine intolerance. While recording, collaboration within the band was greater, with other members contributing to the writing process. The album was teased through an alternate reality game-style website that gradually revealed snippets of the track "Gethsemane". In contrast to the indietronica and standalone songs of their previous album, Making a Door Less Open, The Scholars has been promoted as a concept album and a rock opera, based around several characters who attend a university. It was accompanied by three singles; "Gethsemane" on March 4, "CCF" on April 2, and "The Catastrophe" on April 29.
