Teen Runnings “Sightseeing”

03 Sep 2013 — Parker Bruce

Okay so to be honest, I knew i was going to like this new demo, "Sightseeing," by Tokyo-based Teen Runnings aka Shota Kaneko because I love all things musically dealing with teenage life (see Beach House's "Teen Dream", obviously, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, Teengirl Fantasy, A*Teens, Teen Witch, and everything Summer Camp has ever done -- and see BULLETT talk about the schoolgirl the other day, very related to the teenager). "Sightseeing" has revving, raring to go guitar that wafts and luau intimations. It harkens back to "Shimmy Shimmy, Ko Ko Bop" and at the same time, the current style of Dev Hynes. It's the perfect mix of new and old.
