Teengirl Fantasy streams new album 8AM in full, shares track-by-track breakdown
Today marks the release of Teengirl Fantasy’s new album, 8AM. The 12-track record sees the duo of Logan Takahashi and Nick Weiss exploring that dreamy, delirious headspace when your body is exhausted but you want to keep the night going, articulating something deep and spacious and emotionally enriching. Beats still find their way through the late-night/early-morning haze, but they function in more hypnotic, fragmented ways, a stumbling aesthetic that ushers both outward and inward.
TMT has the honor of premiering 8AM in full. Check it out below, followed by a track-by-track breakdown from Teengirl Fantasy. It’s available now on the always-reliable Planet Mu.
Teengirl Fantasy’s track-by-track breakdown:
01. “Glare”
Nick: This track happened kind of accidentally, it’s pretty much an excerpt from a short moment of a much longer live jam we recorded in Woodstock New York in a little cabin in the woods. We tried to edit the arrangement and make it more complex, but then ended up just going with the original unedited version. It feels more like a fleeting moment that way.
02. “Crash Soft”
Nick: We wrote this track much before the rest of the album. It’s kind of an attempt to wed late night radio quiet storm aesthetics with something heavier and more club.
Logan: If you’ve seen us play live over the last couple years there’s a good chance you’ve heard a version of this. I think it’s the oldest track on the album.
03. “Telepaths”
Logan: Think this one does a nice job of encapsulating the overall concept of the album, and is a nice statement to lead-in to everything else with. We’re big fans of ambient house and I think you can hear that in this one, with the whole digitally organic/tribal sonic palette.
Nick: This one is the start of…
