There Is No Teenage Love

There Is No Teenage Love

There Is No Teenage Love has been played on NTS shows including Cry Later w/ Tropic of Cancer, with Four Ghost first played on 7 June 2019.

Sonic Soundscapes for the Post-Everything Era

Los Angeles musicians Erik Tokle and David J Dowling (There is No Teenage Love) create organic compositions through improvisation and live looping, manipulating guitars beyond recognition and dispensing with conventions of structure in favor of a post-modern, abstract and painterly approach to composition.

Formed in 2011, There Is No Teenage Love released their eponymous debut album in August of 2012. Members Tokle and Dowling use their guitars to create improvised/instinctual source material for subsequent deconstruction, multi-tracking, and post-processing; manipulating the sound beyond that of typical "guitar music." The result is a blown out symphony of ambient bliss; a sea of tonality where both beauty and chaos dissolve together into a wash of colored drone. The band compares their compositional style to that of more visual artforms (particularly the Abstract Expressionist movement), following the Jasper Johns dictum "Do something, do something to that, and then do something to that."
