DOWNLOAD: Teengirl Fantasy - Now That's What I Call Volume 2
When I was younger my sisters used to lock themselves away with this game called Dream Phone. From what I can gather, the basic premise saw a queue of potential sweethearts forming when plucked from a deck of cards, leaving my sisters to figure out which cheesy suitor actually had the balls to pick up the phone and make his pitch down through the lurid pink handset. Teengirl Fantasy duo Logan and Nick seem to share the giddy infatuation of the adolescent female, though theirs is with an array of studs pulled from what you could vaguely call the dance music stable – “Now That’s What I Call Volume 2” shares the shapeshifting, saccharine delight of Lindstrøm's work, though doesn’t touch heavily on any of Hans Peter’s methods; leaving them free to meld the cool drone and glistening synth lines of kraut Godheads Harmonia with dubstep’s busy hi-hat hiss. As snares crack and ecstatic female vocals flutter ecstatically toward the back of the mix, you can hear Teengirl realising that it’d be impossible for any one individual to live up to the clubland pinup their minds had conceived – but they find conviction in that, retreating blissfully into the impossible dimensions of their own daydream.
