How to Leave Town is the second EP by American indie rock musician Will Toledo, released under the alias Car Seat Headrest.

[4] How to Leave Town has been described as indie rock,[1] synth-pop,[5] and lo-fi,[6] with critics noting the EP's less directly personal lyricism, as well as the project's borrowed influences from pop music.

Writing for Paste, Casey Epstein-Gross would describe the song as "atmospheric", "devastating", and "hopeless", noting that it "[evokes] the sensation of standing alone in a desert, on a field, inside a planetarium, looking up at the sheer magnitude of everything around you and feeling just so very, very small.

"[7] "You're in Love with Me" is a more upbeat track, with Emily English of Campus Times describing its guitar and drum parts as the most reminiscent of Teens of Denial.

[1] After signing to Matador Records in 2015, Car Seat Headrest would expand into a full band, with Toledo being joined by members Andrew Katz, Ethan Ives and Seth Dalby.
