Car Seat Headrest will release The Scholars, a bold new rock opera and the band’s first studio album in five years. Ahead of it’s release, the band has given fans another preview of what to expect with their record’s soaring, uplifting opener ‘CCF (I’m Gonna Stay With You)’
Set at the fictional college campus Parnassus University, the album’s songs are populated with students and staff whose travails illuminate a loose narrative of life, death, and rebirth. Here’s what the band has to say about the character at the center of ‘CCF’:
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.
