Beginning with the End, Teengirl Fantasy.

Indubitably one of the more underestimated (and with it understated) pairings in contemporary electronica, such unchanging (and with it rigid) perception of Teengirl Fantasy could be about to shift violently; seismically; irascibly as they next month release their second full-length Tracer, the follow-up to 7AM of 2010. With time ticking on, the Ohio pairing may foreseeably be savouring their final few days and weeks away from the banks of a more mainstream culture for this forthcoming sophomore effort is an ecstatic wonder; a duvet-like swab of treated house and post-techno which sounds as though dotingly nursed by Nick Weiss and Logan Takahashi, the genre having suffered decades of pulsing cerebrum throb. Slap bang at the centre of the record – its synthetic heart you might say – is End, arguably the most affecting and with it human piece of electronically orientated composition since John Roberts' Glass Eights: its pace made by frenetic, tribalistic ripples, it revolves around a startlingly emotive piano refrain to melt even the most gelid ticker before the thing be re-glaciated with the starkly chilling, hair-raising irregularities of its closing moments. Well worth welcoming into your corporeal being to burgeon a while...
