Speaking In Tongues 7″
There’s been a lot of drama in the Teenage Cool Kids camp since the release of their fine debut, Queer Salutations. They recorded this fine piece of wax, a brand new LP and oh, they were sued by that shitty rap band, Cool Kids for name/copyright issues. Oh, the glamorous life of a DIY indie band! After months of legal wrangling the band is finally free and clear. The Speaking In Tongues 7″ seven inch vinyl is a teaser to the band’s Foreign Lands LP which was finally released this month (my copy actually showed up in the mail today after months of hold up from the lawsuit). The A-side, “Speaking In Tongues” appears on Foreign Lands as well and is one of the band’s best songs. It shows TCK’s evolving songwriting and sounds like some gloriously wired mixture of The Shins and Built To Spill. The exclusive B-side “Crucial Talk” echoes the band’s first album in a messy lo-fi haze. If these two songs are any indication, my anticipation for Foreign Lands just shot off the radar!
