Teenage Sequence in studio at KEXP!

[teenagesequence]

Are you an American or an American't? I'm a new American... or at least a new American resident! Thanks no thanks to global imperial border hegemony for getting me stuck in London for six weeks as part of the process, meaning that I had to reschedule my first American show and the coolest thing I've ever been invited to do: a live session at radio's legendary KEXP in Seattle. However, they couldn't keep Teenage Sequence our forever, and I'm super thrilled to announce that you American listen to the KEXP session for the first time ever tonight!

Tune into DJ Troy Nelson on KEXP tonight at 5 PM PST/7 PM CST/1 AM GMT!

IT’S BANDCAMP FRIDAY

[teenagesequence]

Jeff Ament, bassist and founding member of Pearl Jam, was cool enough to share his 2021 Best Ofs with Italian fansite pearljamonline.it... and Teenage Sequence’s “The City Is Hungover” is one of his top five songs of the year!

Pretty awesome, especially given the amazing taste on display, not only in music but also in film and books!

If you haven’t listened already, take Jeff’s advice and give Teenage Sequence a spin over at Spotify or on YouTube.

Premiering today through Weirdo Zine: the video for my new single, “The City is Hungover.” Enjoy the self-mocking dance moves of a too-old-to-be-indie rocker as I make my way around New York City to the beats of this bleak satirical tune.

Please view this fine video featuring the highest level of excitement achievable in indie disco London, plus a special appearance by the canine member of Teenage Sequence.

“All This Art” opens with Soomary talking about the conversation that surrounds beloved DC indie label Dischord Records and even gets skeptical about its myth: “If you are wondering, there is a direct correlation between the levels of Caucasian testosterone and factual masturbation over a million dollar DIY record label.” Over the next six and a half minutes, Soomary gives you a lot to pick through: “If you’re in a position to do so, sign me, you racist.” The music is a genuinely impressive swirl of arpegiatted synths and hard-hitting drum sounds. It all works as a harsh interrogation of underground-music thinking, which ultimately isn’t all that different from what it was when “Losing My Edge” dropped.

Listen to “All This Art,” out now on Get Better Records

It took us, like, 40 years to come to terms with the realization that “disco sucks” is a racist mantra, so it feels like in recent years we’ve been making up for lost time. The debut single from Teenage Sequence, though, makes LCD Soundsystem and DFA at large feel like a soft open, with Dewan-Dean Soomary elevating James Murphy’s stream-of-consciousness lyrics above irony, his blipping electronic beats beyond their simplistic charm, on the walloping six-and-a-half minute debut single “All This Art.” Finding a home on Get Better Records, you can imagine its dancefloor-friendliness is but one facet of the admittedly very dancefloor-friendly track.

“‘All This Art’ is as much about the systemic racism of the U.K. music industry as it is my own neurosis,” shares the London-born artist of South Asian heritage, “as serious about these subjects as it [is an attempt at being] humorous—in a sort of ‘if you don’t laugh, you’d stare blankly into the void wondering what’s the point’ way. I never intended for the first Teenage Sequence single to be six minutes and 23 seconds of the same beat (pop career suicide), but here we are!”
