The band TEEN came together at the turn of the decade, but its members have known each other their whole lives. Teeny, Lizzie, and Katherine Lieberson are sisters. Although they grew up in a musically vibrant Halifax home their first band jelled once they all lived in New York. Teeny officially conceived TEEN in 2010 while on break from touring as part of renowned band Here We Go Magic. Following her self-recorded 2011 release, she invited her sisters to join, transforming TEEN into a full-blown band. Carpark Records caught wind, and TEEN signed to the label for its debut, 2012’s In Limbo. The sisters’ inevitable chemistry manifests across the record; the familial bonds that formed it gave it a strength that resulted in acclaim from publications including Rolling Stone. It was with 2014 follow-up The Way and Color, that the sisters solidified their accessible but complex, psychedelia- and synth-informed pop lens through which they explore romance, womanhood, and social constructs. Of the album’s more outré, electronic-influenced sounds, The New York Times raved: “The band’s new songs bloom with vocal harmonies and double down on intricate counterpoint…. TEEN’s music never [loses its balance].” Good Fruit, the band’s 4th album out 3/1/2019, is its sharpest thesis yet. A meditation on life after love, it’s thematically the opposite of its predecessor, 2016’s Love Yes, which The Guardian praised as “reminiscent of…inventive late-70s to mid-80s pop groups.”
