More about Teenage Sweater?

Mario Ruiz is the main brain trust behind northern California shoegaze pop band Teenage Sweater, writing the songs and doing quadruple duty on vocals, keys, percussion and some sequencing. The Teenage Sweater formula contains notes of classic new wave-Joy Division and New Order are easily heard in the nuances of their songs-and a healthy dose of its modern incarnation, chillwave. Teenage Sweater is cheerful music for introverts, and with their first EP, Kewl, they are keeping things light. With songs like the diaphanous, waves-crashing-on-the-beach-while-you-snuggle-your-prom-date tune “Coconut Water,” and the slightly less upbeat “Oceans and Seas,” which brings to mind a slightly overcast day at an amusement park, with it’s tinny synths and far away vocal mix, the EP is a noisy pop stunner with enough heart to last way past the summer.
