Teen Daze: "Fantasy"

We've covered Teen Daze before, but he's back with a decidedly more downbeat, reflective track this time around. Keeping with the modern trend of intentionally fragmenting one's discography so that only the most diehard fans can keep up with it, Teen Daze does in fact have a new album, All of Us, Together, coming out May 11, but this "Fantasy" single is not on it... nope, it's an exclusive on the tour EP that you have to go to one of his European shows to purchase. I mean, I'm sure copies will eventually make their way for sale online (or the individual tracks will be released in some other form belatedly), but in an increasingly hostile music industry why are so many artists making it difficult to track down their material?

Teen Daze: "Let's Groove"

This one flirts with being a straight up remake of the Earth, Wind & Fire classic with its liberal sampling of the mother jam, but it goes off in enough different nu-disco directions to co-exist as an original jam-slash-cover song.  I'd tell you a bit about Teen Daze the artist but the bio on FB + his website just gives some pretentious bullshit about Out of the Silent Planet and a (probably fictional) anecdote about studying literature in the Alps.  He's from Vancouver.  There.

"Let's Groove" is available as a free download via both Facebook and Bandcamp.
