"In all our internet meandering, endlessly seeking those rare extra-terrestrial sounds born of hearts and minds weighed down by unique talent, one band in particular confirmed this year that all the effort is worthwhile. Whenever we're ready to throw in the towel and convince ourselves that all our time spent trawling is utterly pointless, we remind ourselves of the sumptuous beauty of Memoryhouse. First hearing Deniese Nouvion's bewitching voice on the Guelph, Ontario band's transversal, heavenly dream-pop demos felt like reason for marvellous new hope. Receiving the fully-realised Years EP was more a case of consecration." -Delicious Scopitone
"The eight songs featured on Teen Daze's debut album, Four More Years, are a neon wash of samples and synths. In "Shine On You Crazy White Cap," the line "let's drive to the coastline tonight" glistens against heavy bass, beckoning to the tide and warmer places. The entire album exudes this warmth, making it an ideal collection of songs for today and the rest of the summer. With a delicate mixture of hazy synthetic effects and more traditional instruments, Four More Years is a debut that proves Teen Daze's ear for balance and positions him as an artist whose creations leave you wanting to hear more and more." -The Road Goes Ever On
