Car Seat Headrest and Smash Mouth may record a collaborative EP
In news that doesn’t seem real even writing it, apparently Smash Mouth and Car Seat Headrest are going to put out a split where they cover each other’s songs. Or maybe a collaborative album. The sky is apparently the limit here.
This all thanks to Smash Mouth’s active Twitter presence, as the band previously tried to get the attention of Parquet Courts by tweeting at someone that wasn’t the band but had the handle @ParquetCourts1, saying “They’re awesome.” Smash Mouth’s love of modern indie bands was taken to the next level when it declared Car Seat Headrest’s “Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales” as one of the best songs of 2016.
Things escalated when someone tweeted that Smash Mouth and Car Seat Headrest should release a split EP where they cover each other’s songs. Understanding its place in the world, Smash Mouth tweeted, “I don’t think they would think that’s cool but we’re game,” following that up with, “They don’t need our old asses!” But to the surprise of the old-ass-havers in Smash Mouth, the band it had been courting responded with, “Let’s make it happen!” After all, when the water’s warm you might as well swim.
