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<\/em>, and the slightly less upbeat Oceans and Seas<\/em>, 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Francisco’s shoegazers Teenage Sweater recently released their debut “Kewl EP” via These Are My Friends Records and are touring the West Coast to promo […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23,25,28,29,30],"tags":[3736,1046,1627,3737,1244,1628],"class_list":["post-5107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","tag-kewl-ep","tag-shoegaze","tag-teenage-sweater","tag-these-are-my-friends-records","tag-tour","tag-west-coast"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/teenage-sweater.jpg?fit=800%2C533","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-1kn","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":13239,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=13239","url_meta":{"origin":5107,"position":0},"title":"Shark? premiere new track + announce West Coast tour","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"April 22, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Shark? have released\u00a0the second song lifted\u00a0from their recently announced\u00a0'Becky And Debbie'\u00a0EP.
