Teen – In Limbo

Teen – In Limbo (Carpark)

Brooklyn’s Teeny Lieberson left her main gig with Here We Go Magic to form Teen along with her sisters Katherine and Lizzy and their longtime friend Jane Herships. There’s a glut of all-girl groups out there, most channeling Phil Spector groups like the Ronettes, but while Teen do draw inspiration from the ‘60s it’s more in the form of psychedelia; take production by Spacemen3’s Sonic Boom as evidence. When these ladies get into a hypnotic, uptempo groove, the results can be pretty spectacular. In Limbo has some pimples, but Teen are precocious enough to have me wondering what kind of band they’ll grow up into.
