"On the older records everything was self-recorded, home-recorded, on a laptop or on tape, and always with really limited resources," Sam Ray says. "I think we became known for that but it was also very limiting to be seen as a lo-fi band."
"I think to write this kind of music you sort of have to pull from torment," Kitty Ray adds. "Our torment is more external. This is what we do, the only thing we know is making music, so the existential perils of these ever-changing machines and systems we're trying to exist within is the stuff that's driving us insane when we sit down to write a song."
Teen Suicide will release Nude descending staircase headless on April 17 via Run for Cover, produced by Mike Sapone and described as the band's first proper studio recording. Earlier records were self-recorded at home with limited resources, which the band found creatively limiting. The band says their songwriting draws from external torment and the pressures of contemporary systems. The first single, "Idiot," is one of their heaviest tracks and features a video directed and animated by Wyatt Carson. A spring North American tour accompanies the release, including a May 22 show at Music Hall of Williamsburg and ticket sale details.
