Not to be confused with The Teenagers (scruffy men who sing about bonking girls in America) or that Mini Viva single about a weekend in Japan, TeenagersInTokyo are a space-free group of stunning girls (and boy) from Australia. We've been aware of them for some time but now, at the start of 2010, they have a whole heap of new music to unleash on the world - which includes their quite brilliant new single, 'Peter Pan'.The single is a well dressed slice of super-cool guitar-pop and if it has been released two years ago, TeenagersInTokyo would have been referred to as a female fronted, Australian Foals-a-like. However, things change and music moves on, so it would probably more appropriate to describe TeenagersInTokyo as a female-fronted Delphic (how very BBC zeitgeist). In laymans terms, 'Peter Pan' is a brilliant bit of no-frills indie disco - and we've always got time for a bit of that.
The video to the single is a generally wistful country romp, albeit with a strange and bloody twist at the end, which makes no real sense but livens things up greatly. It looks like it was shot in Devon.
We like.
