Eternally Teenage

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download code! Tomorrow's Tulips is the brainchild of Al Knost and Christina Kee. On their debut album Eternally Teenage, the pair taps their SoCal roots to create breezy pop of heartbreaking genius and genre-bending optimism. With jangled hooks and swaths of reverb, Eternally Teenage's lo-fi tracks are not so much stripped down as they are neatly refined and packaged into individual arrangements of precise noise and Fender-fuzzed nostalgia. One moment the listener is shoegazing in the California sun ("Optimistic Vibes"), the next bathing in Kee's warming vocals ("Shades of Grey"), only to end up swirling in a mélange of beachy psychedelia ("Livingroom Sensitive") and punk swagger ("Casual Hopelessness"). The band's radically immense scuzz-pop blurs the lines between pop, rock, blues and experimentalism, bringing to mind the likes of the Modern Lovers and Chet Baker all awash in sand and surf. This is music for sun in one's hair and road trips to nowhere. Tomorrow's Tulips is the sound of freedom and unhinged creativity, always smiling and always moving forward, and Eternally Teenage finds the duo shimmering with an unrestricted confidence in their unorthodox techniques and songwriting. Massive in its span of modesty, complexity and influence, the album is a perfect representation of two artists who are taking chances, freeing listeners and soundtracking endless summers.
