When We Fall Into

Teen Daze “Let’s Fall Asleep Together”

I look at the band name Teen Daze and the EP title Beach Dream, and I can only think about how it looks like the off-brand version of Beach House’s Teen Dream. You know, like at the supermarket where Cinnamon Toast Crunch becomes Cinnamon Toasters, and Dr. Pepper becomes Dr. Thunder and a thousand other sodas with doctorate degrees. That said, despite their generic quality, the names are very well-suited to the music, which aims for a type of innocent dreaminess that has been very common in the past few years, but ends up sounding more assertive and more effortless in its beauty. “Let’s Fall Asleep Together” isn’t a mind-blower, but it’s very easy to enjoy. It’s an uncomplicated, familiar pleasure for people who like graceful, pretty indie pop.
