Teenagers In Heat

“I want to believe that you and me will always be Teenagers In Heat”

If you’ve heard “Girls On Medication”, the shimmering debut UK single from Brooklyn’s Caged Animals, you might think you have them pegged as connoisseurs of perfectly tuned, gorgeously ethereal soundscapes. Their new single “Teflon Heart” however – the first to be taken from the forthcoming debut album “Eat Their Own” – is set to blow those preconceptions out of the water, taking, as it does, a sharp stylistic swerve into bold iconic pop territory.

From the first moment, with it’s swaggering dub-wise bassline, and hugely unlikely but most memorable rhymes, you know this is no ordinary love story ; “you brought me to the cinema, bought me a tarantula, put film in my camera and shot my heart.”

With classic hip hop snares, instantly infectious melodies, and a chorus full of yearning pathos, “Teflon Heart” embellishes an irresistibly ironic pop nous hinted at on Caged Animals’ previously released material, and points to a richly layered debut album (to be released later in the year) full of sonic surprises, and a beguiling emotional heft.

“Teflon Heart” will be available on September 19th, 2011, on gorgeous Pink vinyl (limited to just 500 copies). Cover artwork below and further details here. Pre-order 7″ Vinyl from Rough Trade (UK) or Insound (US)

We’re thrilled to present the most important double-headed UK debut of Brooklyn-based bands for as long as we can remember, as Friends and Caged Animals will be touching down in London on September 27th and Manchester on September 30th. You really do not want to miss these shows, trust us!
