Named for a phrase from a '60s ad in Playboy magazine, melodically sweet, experimental electro-pop band
Teen Men began as a one-off public-access TV audio/video project in Wilmington, Delaware. Singer/guitarist
Nick Krill and guitarist
Joey Hobson of indie dance-rockers
the Spinto Band, with visual artists Albert Birney and Catharine Maloney (both on keyboards), eventually gathered enough material from subsequent sessions to follow up on the project, which involved music inspiring the video artists and vice versa. The quartet recorded their debut album at the Garden Center and Paperlab Recording with
Krill engineering, mixing and producing. Amid a tour in support of
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, the self-titled LP was released in mid-2015 by Bar/None Records. ~ Marcy Donelson
