What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Onto The Teenagers with Starlett Johansson. This is an amusing 7" with the lyrics spoken in a German accent. It's like Trio all over again... and then the Ash pop style chorus comes in. There's some cheesey euro pop thing going on here... maybe a bit of Barbara Morgernstern or something? On the ever trendy Merok label.

What the label says:

Hot on the heels of their NME single of the week ‘Homecoming’, the cheeky Parisian trio are back with another melodic slice of passion infused synth-pop.   Seeing the world through teen-tinted glasses The Teenagers (lead singer Quentin Delafon, guitarist / synth man Dorian Dumont and bassist Michael Szpiner) remind us what it’s like to be young. The lyrically ingenious Quentin interweaves snapshots of Johansson’s films as well as teen magazine style “factoids” over beautifully crunchy guitar and soaring synths. Released on the ragingly hip Merok label, who can’t seem to put a musical foot wrong, this track is like reading the secret teenage diary of ELO with Kim Wilde for company.   Currently recording material with The Strokes producer Gordon Raphael, ‘Starlett Johansson’ is a tantalising taste of what is to come and is truly a track for anyone who remembers what it’s like to fall in love in front of the big screen… in an obsessive kind of way

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.

They even checked their logs to see if they could find a trace of it but nothing came out...
