With a plethora of easy listening, indie-folk tunes, Teenager of the Century casts its mellow vibes on the sound waves.

Brummie band The Lights appear to have effortlessly created a fresh and polished sound with simple melodies and a particularly impressive vocal performance from lead singer Liz Sheils. This gentle release, though not immediately arresting, will soon have you surrendering to its smooth tones. Tracks such as Sleep Addiction read like a novel, leaving you engrossed in the lyrical tale and infectious hooks. Other standout tracks include Sunday Best and Storm Over Pendry, both of which showcase the groups ability to produce beautifully restrained harmonies. This promising release comes with a guarantee to chill.
