My Back Is Killing Me Baby is the fifth album by Car Seat Headrest as a solo project of singer Will Toledo. It is a combination of the shelved album 5 and the Sunburned Shirts EP,[1] replacing three of the tracks on 5 with three on that EP, the title track of which is featured. The excluded tracks were later featured on Toledo's rarities compilation, Little Pieces of Paper With "No" Written On Them."[2][3][4][5][6]
On re-arranging the album's tracklist, Will Toledo said that "After the first four [albums], I went to college and obviously wasn’t able to keep up making a full album every month. The first semester of college, I recorded and put out an EP called Sunburned Shirts. I started working on other tracks for 5, [and] then I put out 5 later in the year. 5 got featured in a blog that was relatively minor but at the time was one of the biggest things I’d been in at the time. I just decided that if more people are going to be [hearing] it, I’d rather it be a collection of my strongest work, so I ended up combining the EP with the record and taking out the weaker tracks. They ended up on Little Pieces of Paper. I guess Little Pieces of Paper had actually been put out before 5 but thanks to Bandcamp it was an easy process to just add those tracks on and then re-sequence 5 and re-title it as well."[7]
Reception[edit]
In a 2017 ranking of Car Seat Headrest's discography to that point (excluding the numbered albums), The Odyssey called My Back Is Killing Me Baby the band's/artist's best album, praising it for having "everything Teens of Style had, but it's done in Will's old lo-fi style."[8] In an Uproxx guide to Car Seat Headrest's independently-released music, Steve Hyden offered a more measured take on the album, stating that "immediately stands out as the album that spawned the bulk of Toledo’s Matador debut, Teens of Style. Five songs from that LP originally appeared on My Back is Killing Me Baby, including one of Toledo’s finest songs, “Something Soon.” But if My Back now seems like a turning point in Toledo’s career, it has benefitted from some retrospective pruning."[9]
