The latest release on our label Analog Edition came out this week: the six-song debut EP from DC fuzz-pop purveyors Teen Mom. We love this record and are excited as hell about releasing it to the rest of the world. To celebrate, we're giving away a copy of the nearly sold-out clear and a copy of the black 12" vinyl, along with a few other extra LPs we have lying around, like Chromatics Kill For Love 2XLP and Desire's II. To enter, simply "like" our brand spanking new Analog Edition Facebook page . We'll do two giveaways: one when we hit 50 likes and another at 100. Incentivize yourself below with a stream of the entire Mean Tom EP.
As always, if you dig what we're doing, any support you can muster is deeply appreciated. You can buy the vinyl here or get the album digitally from iTunes.
DC-based trio Teen Mom released their debut EP last week, Mean Tom, and despite the silly word play and that band name, it contains a handful of really wonderfully crafted and charming pop jams. While the EP''s single, "You and Me," wrestles in off-kilter swaying rhythms, clean-toned slices of guitar, and sweet hushed vocal melodies, the band also slops on the fuzz as in the very 90s second half of "Always Happy" and the jumpy chorus of album stand-out "I Wanna Go Out." The band can really turn on a dime, churning out walls of gain-heavy guitars one moment and jangly foot-tapping funk-laced pop the next. It's an incredibly promising six-track introduction, and one I can't recommend enough.
