Brooklyn’s TEEN came together when Teeny Lieberson, formerly of Here We Go Magic, left her post in the latter band in order to make music with her sisters Katherine and Lizzie and their longtime friends Jane Herships and former member Maia Ibar. Forgoing girl-group gimmickry and fervor, the band’s digital-only debut EP, Little Doods, fleshed out a sound of languid, lo-fi psyche pop redolent of Paisley Underground bands like Opal and Rain Parade. Since releasing the EP in April 2011, they have steadily honed their sound around New York and readied their first long-player, In Limbo.
Recorded during the summer of 2011 in a converted barn in rural Connecticut, In Limbo puts pop and tribal elements to the fore. Opener “Better” is a Suicide-esque march toward euphoria through repetition. “Sleep in Noise” comes on like a neo-psychedelic tribal stomp with a Spector-esque drive, while “Unable,” an all-but-shapeless mass of organ swells and tremolo synths provides a loose structure for their transcendent vocal acrobatics. The density and layers of the band’s morphing keyboards, driving synths and jungle drums let their finely arranged vocals sit gloriously on top, each member’s contribution shining through.
In Limbo was mixed and produced in collaboration with Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3, Spectrum). His influence and guidance is subtly evident throughout, adding sympathetic undertones and ambience to the band’s well defined and inspiring songs.

After hearing your mp3 of this, I came to soundcloud in order to give my feedback - specifically, that this composition is FANTASTIC, but the lo-fi production is absolutely and utterly inappropriate for it. The tune is squandered in the poor quality of the production. Also, the bass and lead vocals need to be forefront in the mix.
Now that I have arrived at this page, I am very disappointed that Pete Kember/Sonic Boom is responsible, because I used to buy a lot of his stuff (I have several limited edition/special packaging Spectrum releases, bought in the early 90s), and have a lot of respect for the work he has done in the past. However, based on the results here, it seems to me that he is not cut out for this type of work. It's as though he's intentionally trying to make it sound as though it was recorded in the 80s. Trust me, a band, and its material, will not reach its full potential or have longevity, if it adopts this strategy. To provide an example, listen to Spiritualized's stunning and well-produced first album, "Lazer Guided Melodies", an album that still sounds great, with the equivalent from Sonic Boom, "Spectrum", which really has not stood the test of time.

Please just try giving your track to some other people to mix - I really think that someone could make so much more of it.
