TEENAGERSINTOKYO - end it tonight remixes [Limited 12"]
Back Yard Recordings: available from Beatport. Featuring remixes by Mad Decent, Heartbreak, Tybalt & Sidechains.
teenagersintokyo hail from Sydney, where their mix of grunge, goth and disco has earned them a fearsome reputation, playing sell out shows with !!!, CSS, The Slits, Midnight Juggernauts and the Gossip amongst others.
Last year they released their self-titled EP on Back Yard Recordings, the label responsible for finding internationally acclaimed bands Chromeo and Gossip. It was championed by Zane Lowe and the NME (who called it "peculiar and lovely") and sold out in both Australia and the UK.
Now they've relocated to London and have been holed away in the Welsh mountains with Bat for Lashes producer David Kosten to record their highly anticipated, upcoming album, to be released in early 2010. But you won’t have to wait until then to hear the first fruits of that union –the double A side single 'Isabella/ Long Walk Home' is out on 5th October on ltd edition 7" vinyl and digital download.
Serving as a tasty, succinct refresher to the band, "Isabella" takes its cues not from their supposed contemporaries but from the storied history of offbeat punk rockers like Siouxsie and the Banshees and X-Ray Spex, producing an angular pop gem that is as insidious as it is off-kilter. "Long Walk Home", on the other hand, is the more tender side of teenagersintokyo, with lead singer Samantha Lim purring “It’s a long walk home, and I want to walk with you" over a gently rolling landscape of shimmering synths and girl group style "oooh ooh"'s.
To celebrate the release we produced a super limited edition t-shirt, exclusively available from the Rough Trade shop.
Loved you guys last night, hope you have a good night tonight and you weren't put off Glasgow too badly! :) was great meeting you anyway, and don't wait too long before you're back!
Hey Teens! I just got out of gaol and I'm looking for a random musical group to murder. And you, my friends, have drawn the short straw I'm afraid. Oh well.
Sok how we gonna do this? Knives or guns? Or strangulation?
ps. after I'm done with you I'm going to kill Ladyhawke. FYI
Hey Teenagers! great news. I just broke up with my girlfriend and I can now have guilt free sex with all of you. Even the bloke. I'm not picky. But I don't like scratchy beards. However, before we "progress our relationship to the next stage" I have to lay down a few ground rules. I'm a very lazy lover and I also like to have the tv on during sex. I will most likely tweet while we do it too. So PLEASE don't get offended. jesus. I'm also not very good at orgasms and stuff. They just seem messy. And more than a little embarrassing! And as far as YOUR pleasure is concerned well, you're on your own. I'm not responsible for your enjoyment ok? Are we clear Teenagers?
