"Car Underwater" was the song that got out ahead of What to Do When You Are Dead, Armor for Sleep's second album: a rough mix went public in November 2004, three months before Equal Vision Records released the record in February 2005, and after the band's April and May tours it went to radio as a single.
It's one chapter of a concept record. Singer and guitarist Ben Jorgensen had a couple of songs written from beyond the grave and built a whole story out of that angle, following a narrator through the fallout of his own suicide and on into the afterlife. He wrote the words here and shares the music credit with the band. Machine produced, engineered and mixed it, from sessions that ran from August to October 2004, with Jacob Nyger chipping in extra engineering.
