car seat headrest

nothing is born clean.

When Matador Records asked me to make a film for Car Seat Headrestโ€™s new album, I didnโ€™t have a scriptโ€”just a feeling. I was honored by the trust Will Toledo gave me to interpret this track as we built the piece together from instinct: a shared love of silent cinema, horror, surrealism, and truth. We kept chasing something raw, something haunted, something human.

Shot over two days across the woods, tunnels, and dark corners of New York, Gethsemane became a fever dream of a film. Every frame was made with full trust, creative freedom, and a small team who gave everything they had.
