Pop sounds from the post-independent cassette scene. TEEN DAZE is the project of British Columbia’s unique artist Jamison Isaak, who emerged on the lo-fi house scene with releases under the name Pacific Coliseum on the label *Coastal Haze*. “Elegant Rhythms” consists of eight tracks. The dub-inspired sound feels fresh.
Track List
Back yard - Back yard is the first single from the new Teen Daze album, Elegant rhythms, and features singer-songwriter Andy Shauf on drums, and LA jazz staple, Sam Wilkes, on bass.
We’re out of phase again - We’re out of phase again is another vulnerable glimpse into the inner world of Teen Daze, and marks the release of his most personal album to date, Elegant rhythms.
Nothing’s gonna change my love - Teen Daze returns with his second single of the year, Nothing’s gonna change my love.
Neighbourhood - Neighbourhood is the third single from the recently announced LP from Teen Daze, Elegant Rhythms. Along with Andy Shauf on the drums, and Sam Wilkes on the bass, Teen Daze gives us a languid tour of his quiet neighbourhood.
Fade away - Fade away sets the tone for Elegant Rhythm’s side B: a deeply personal, though somewhat veiled, confession of loss.
Fall ahead - A sweet piano tune which serves as a quiet break in the record, intended to help the listener reflect and take a moment of pause before we reach the final two songs on the album.
HST underwater - The penultimate track on the record tells a story where the narrator finds themself in an alien, yet oddly familiar place.
In the rain - It’s never really made explicitly clear on this record, but a lot of these songs find Teen Daze wrestling with life as a new father, and this song, the final on the album, expresses the fears of generational trauma.

TEEN DAZE, whose previous album “Interior” won the Electronic Album of the Year award at the JUNO Awards—often referred to as the Canadian Grammys—has released a new album, “Elegant Rhythms,” with PLANCHA handling the CD pre-release as part of a Japan-exclusive project. The vinyl has arrived! It features a vintage ’80s AOR, pop, and soul vibe, synthesized vocals, and a post-chillwave sensibility. Singer-songwriter Andy Shauf plays drums, and Sam Wilkes plays bass on five tracks. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
