TEEN

Acquiring their moniker from a shortened version of frontwoman Teeny Lieberson’s name, Brooklyn’s TEEN include from psychedelic rock and roll to ’90s R&B to their experimental pop. Were only available in 2010 by multi-instrumentalists Lieberson, a previous Here We Proceed Magic member who produced and released TEEN’s lo-fi, home-recorded debut Small Doods in 2001, the music group quickly included her sisters Lizzie and Katherine, and their friend Jane Herships. The ladies started crafting a sound commensurate with a number of the various other thriving styles in those days — gal group-inspired sound pop, pulsating tribal consumer electronics — that also recalled past luminaries such as for example Galaxie 500 as well as the Velvet Underground. After adding Maia Ibar towards the flip, the quintet agreed upon to Carpark and enlisted Spacemen 3’s Sonic Increase to create In Limbo, which found its way to August 2012. The Lieberson sisters and brand-new bassist Boshra AlSaadi came back in Apr 2014 with JUST HOW and Color, a far more focused group of music that blended motivation from D’Angelo and Erykah Badu into its psychedelic noises. When it had been time to create their fourth record, the band composed music in places as far-flung as Woodstock, NY and a cabin in Kentucky, and documented with manufacturer Daniel Schlett (who also caused TEEN along the way and Color) on the Aged Self-confidence Lodge, a secluded studio room in Riverport, Nova Scotia. The outcomes became 2016’s Like Yes, which deepened JUST HOW and Color’s explorations of identification, spirituality, and sensuality.
