Formerly of Brooklyn experimental pop explorers Here We Go Magic, Kristina "Teeny" Lieberson brought it all back home when it came to recruiting Teen band members, enlisting sisters Katherine and Lizzie and longtime friend Jane Herships for the cause. Produced by Spacemen 3's Pete "Sonic Boom" Kember, In Limbo is a thoroughly enjoyable peach of an album, happy to throw steamy psych-drones, angular pop highs and woozy, trippy textures around the place. Between all these edges and fuzz, you'll find some smart, sassy melodies and hooks, among them the 1960s pop feints on Fire, the touch of Velvet Underground on Why Why Why, and the lovely, swirling, punky attractions of Better. What ensures so much intrigue throughout is the sense that Teen's four members are only getting started at pushing their songs and ideas to the utmost. teentheband.com
