Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers Return With New Single ‘BALCONY’
Ahead of their return to the US next month to support Pearl Jam on six arena dates and play three headline shows, rapidly rising stars Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers return with their first new single for the year – and their first release as official! winners! of the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist ARIA Award! – BALCONY, their loving ode to being chaos gremlins at the bar produced by 3x GRAMMY Award winning Catherine Marks (boygenius’ The Record, Wolf Alice, Foals). BALCONY is released with its music video and is out everywhere now via Community Music / Mom + Pop.
“BALCONY IS FOR WHEN YOU’RE FEELING CHEEKY AND WANT TO
KISS SOMEONE ON THE FACE AND GET KICKED OUT OF A BAR!!! CHAOS!!!!!”
BALCONY is Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers as you know them, with a widescreen indie-rock inflection. It’s the first song to emerge from a 5-week-straight recording session at The Grove Studios in so-called-NSW alongside London-based producer Catherine Marks who the band worked with for the first time and said was “a frickin dream. We have learnt heaps from her and have been such huge fans for so long! She’s stupidly hardworking and makes us all feel very motivated and inspired, which is hard to do when you’re locked in an isolated studio for 5 straight weeks. Hallelujah and god bless miss Marks.” The international treatment on BALCONY continues with engineering from 3x GRAMMY Award winning Oli Jacobs (Kendrick Lamar, beabadoobee, Taylor Swift) and mastering by Ruairi O’Flaherty (Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Rey, Bleachers).
In two short weeks Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers make their return to the US where they will reunite with Pearl Jam as their main (and only) support at six arena shows in Nashville, Raleigh, and Pittsburgh, and to play three headline dates in New York City, Los Angeles and up in Toronto, Canada (full dates below). This is the second run of support shows with Pearl Jam – the band were invited to open for the Seattle greats on 3 stadium shows down the East Coast of so-called-Australia last November, with Vedder himself coming on stage during Teen Jesus’ set at the final show to congratulate them on their ARIA win and throw his support behind the band, saying “for all the people who have yet to see them perform and this is your first time, we are very honoured that you will say, ‘I saw them on the same stage as Pearl Jam.'”
