Although eliciting lighter sounds than with their previous releases,\u00a0\u2018Good Time\u2019\u00a0and <em>Touching Glass<\/em> refuse to shy away from the band\u2019s ear for social commentary and wish to weigh in on contemporary issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the new track, Melissa Ball of the band says: \u201c<em>I was thinking about John Carpenter&#8217;s 1988 classic \u2018They Live\u2019 (starring Roddy Piper) before I wrote these lyrics so I guess I had that plot in the back of my mind. It&#8217;s pretty straight forward lyrically and partly about the fear of mind control and my frustrations with being tethered to\/tired with my phone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Good Time\u2019\u00a0arrives off the back of a turbulent few years for the group, a period filled with self-reflection, a restless search for creativity and more than anything, a need to rewire the very essence of the band. The four-piece had tied up the rinse and repeat promotional run for their 2017 self-titled record in the spring of 2018; their fifth album, which had started to find them some acclaim, also marked their first decade together as a group, quite an achievement by anyone&#8217;s measures in the current climate. The line-up was unchanged since Teenanger&#8217;s inception, and the members had become somewhat inseparable over their time together; whilst the album release and the corresponding tour was somewhat celebratory, it also brought with it a severe bout of writer\u2019s block that unexpectedly placed their existence in jeopardy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A testament to the rigorous DIY ethos of Teenanger that forges its core values, the band was rooted in the same rehearsal room that they had used since their early days together \u2013 a revolving door of local acts shared the space and it took fracturing this routine to find inspiration for\u00a0\u2018Good Time\u2019. One Craigslist advertisement offered an apartment for rent with the words: \u201cMusic OK\u201d, Teenanger seized the opportunity and thus \u201cStudio Z\u201d was coined, a basement flat that previously worked as a reggae studio\/after-hours club was converted by the four-piece into a live practice room and adjacent fully-functional recording studio. The band went on to battle two major floods, a CO2 leak, vermin infestation and constant mould to record the new album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/79254B99-C381-4D67-8ACA-CC149A9F750F.jpeg?resize=800%2C800\" alt=\"Teenanger Good Times cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-34683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/79254B99-C381-4D67-8ACA-CC149A9F750F.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/79254B99-C381-4D67-8ACA-CC149A9F750F.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/79254B99-C381-4D67-8ACA-CC149A9F750F.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/79254B99-C381-4D67-8ACA-CC149A9F750F.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Good Time\u2019 track listing<\/strong><br>1.
