The Men - "Electric"

New TracksadminComment

Yes, I was looking forward to this! I don't know what it is about the Men, but they must have some serious band chemistry going on, because they're pumping out worthwhile rock records like it's nobody's business. "Electric" is the first song to drop from the band's next album, New Moon, and it's got the kind of energy that'll make ya wanna throw your fists up and thank the lord for rock 'n' roll.

Look for this new Men album on March 5th via Sacred Bones.

TEEN- "Electric"

VideosadminComment

Yeah, Brooklyn's TEEN doesn't exactly have a band name that sticks out in today's current indie landscape, however, the music the music itself is something worth writing home about.

It's dark, moody indie rock with loads of experimental, psychedelic sounds. There are a lot of great, etherial vocal harmonies through out the track featured in the video above, too. I really love the opening rhythm and bassline on this track, and the deadpan female vocals add an element of strangeness to the song as well.

Just when it seems like you're in for another Vivian / Dum Dum Girls knockoff, TEEN starts filling the mix with loads of weird synths and instrumentation toward the second half of this song. Am I surprised? Not really considering the band is fronted by Here We Go Magic keyboardist Teeny Lieberson. You've got to have an adventurous spirit working in a band like that, for sure.

TEEN's forthcoming album, In Limbo, will be out on August 28th on Carpark.
