CMU Approved
Approved: teenagersintokyo (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 15 September 2009
Hailing from Sydney, teenagersintokyo are the latest signing to Back Yard Recordings, a label famed, of course, for bringing artists including Gossip and Chromeo to worldwide attention. Currently holed up in a studio in the Welsh mountains with Bat For Lashes producer David Kosten, they release their second single, a double a-side, ‘Isabella/Long Walk Home’ on 5 Oct. While they may not hide their influences very well, the mix of early eighties sounds courtesy of The Cure, Joy Division and Tears For Fears coupled with Samantha Lim’s sweet vocals make for some pleasing results. I also suspect that Kosten might be able to pull something a little more challenging out of them, so keep eyes and ears peeled for that album.
