This week TEEN released a new video for the song “Circus”, off their upcoming EP Carolina. Directed and edited by Elizabeth Skadden, and filmed live at Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Skadden uses members of the audience to illuminate the band with hand-held flashlights. Now, that’s crowd sourcing! Sonically, “Circus” is a more refined approach to the psych-pop meets post-punk found on TEEN‘s 2012 debut, In limbo. On the track, Teeny Lieberson (Here We Go Magic) lets her voice drift out in a mild, breathy haze above the Nuggests-style, 1960’s pulsation of guitars and percussion. The EP will be out via Carpark Records on May 28th, followed by a North American tour with Eleanor Friedberger beginning June 4th. Check out a list of upcoming tour dates below.
