'Making a Door Less Open' came out this year. Will Toledo described the resulting music on their new album:
“Each track is the result of an intense battle to bring out its natural colors and transform it into a complete work. The songs contain elements of EDM, hip hop, futurism, doo-wop, soul, and of course rock and roll. But underneath all these things I think these may be folk songs, because they can be played and sung in many different ways, and they’re about things that are important to a lot of people: anger with society, sickness, loneliness, love…the way this album plays out is just our own interpretation of the tracks, with Andrew, Ethan and I forming a sort of choir of contrasting natures.”

Will Toledo spoke about how this track ended up on 'Making a Door Less Open':
"That was one that put me in a really good mood, because it just came out quickly and was sort of instantly one of my favourites. I had the demo for a long time and I wasn’t considering it for this record because it seemed warmer to me. I had a lot of colder music—minor-key or ambiguous drone music. But then I had this piece in a major key that was a little more on the poppy, Brian Wilson-y side, and I wasn’t intending to use it, but it kind of got towards the end of the album process and a friend said, ‘I really liked that and I think it fits better than some of the stuff that’s on there now.’ "

Will Toledo on the song "Life Worth Missing":
That was one that put me in a really good mood, because it just came out quickly and was sort of instantly one of my favourites. I had the demo for a long time and I wasn’t considering it for this record because it seemed warmer to me. I had a lot of colder music—minor-key or ambiguous drone music. But then I had this piece in a major key that was a little more on the poppy, Brian Wilson-y side, and I wasn’t intending to use it, but it kind of got towards the end of the album process and a friend said, ‘I really liked that and I think it fits better than some of the stuff that’s on there now.’ I guess it’s sort of a classic Car Seat Headrest song maybe—it hits that sort of melancholy niche. I was listening a lot to sort of older rock material, stuff that was very simplistic lyrically—like Sam Cooke, ‘Stand by Me’ by Ben E. King, The Drifters—and just seeing those are songs that have been with me since youth and just have this immense emotional weight to them. And it’s like, ‘How does that work? How did those lyrics work when they’re so simple, and on paper they don’t seem to add up that way?’ I really tried to write in that vein where all the words were simple and the lines are simple, but it just adds up to something that is really beautiful.
