TEEN - The Way and Color (CD) |-

Pivoting from the melodic psych of their previous efforts, TEEN's second full-length The Way and Color shows the young group confidently shifting direction with their distinctly modern, R&B-informed pop. What emerged was the ambitious scope of The Way and Color. Recorded over a ten-day session in upstate New York, the band infuses their brooding pop with minimalist beats and complex harmonies, inspired by D'Angelo and Erykah Badu's classic R&B. Amidst the album's rich patchwork, Teeny emerges as a expressive, inspired frontwoman, touching on themes of relationships, womanhood and power. Toying with genre, TEEN successfully trades in the reverb for a punchy clarity and newfound maturity.
