"Three sisters plus a pal (convened by Teeny
Lieberson of dreamy indie poppers Here We Go Magic) cook up some darkly
pulsating basement New Wave rapture."– Rolling Stone
"Mixing disparate influences to create lush,
experimental pop, the Brooklyn-based band floats from florid dreamscapes to
immediate hooks." – Refinery 29
TEEN have made a free download available of the DJ
Japanster remix for their track "Electric". In addition, TEEN will
wrap up their fall U.S. tour with Hospitality in New York City on
November 2nd at the Bowery Ballroom. TEEN'S debut full-length, In
Limbo, was released via Carpark
Records on August 28th.

Brooklyn's
TEEN came together when Teeny Lieberson, formerly of Here We Go Magic,
left her post in the latter band in order to make music with her sisters Katherine
and Lizzie and longtime friends Jane Herships and former member Maia
Ibar. Forgoing girl-group gimmickry and fervor, the band’s digital-only
debut EP, Little Doods, fleshed out a sound of languid, lo-fi
psyche pop redolent of Paisley Underground bands like Opal and Rain
Parade. Since releasing the EP in April 2011, the band have steadily honed
their sound around New York and readied their first long-player, In Limbo.
Recorded
in summer 2011 in a barn in rural Connecticut and
engineered by Jen Turner of Here We Go Magic, In
Limbo keeps the band grounded in their own world of psychedelia while
heightening fidelity and giving songs the room to take shape. The first half of
the record puts pop at the fore with opener "Better," a Suicide-esque
march toward euphoria through repetition. In Limbo was mixed and
produced by Spacemen 3's Sonic Boom, and his influence subtly
makes itself known throughout the album. "Sleep is
Noise" comes on like a neo-psychedelic tribal stomp with a Spector-like drive,
while "Unable," an all-but-shapeless mass of organ swells and tremolo synths
provides a loose structure for their transcendent vocal acrobatics .The density
and layers of the band's morphing keyboards, driving synths and jungle drums
let their finely arranged vocals sit gloriously on top. TEEN add
levity to their sound through lilting melodies, harmonious coos, and
call-and-response filigrees that complement the heftier aspects of their songs
