TEEN "ELECTRIC"
Teen unveil the their new video for Electric from the forthcoming debut full-length, In Limbo – due out on Carpark Records on August 28. Sam Fleischner and Megha Barnabas directed the video. Fleischner said that "some ideas that nurtured this video were sisterhood, modern-day ritual, and stage magic. We were interested in the idea of forced initiation - something that would allow for entrance into another "Electric" realm. We were also seeing movement as a process or a form of communication rather than something celebratory. As Teeny, the lead singer, put it when we were first hashing out concepts, 'this is not a happy song - it is about death and people kicking you when you are down.' The video is about strength in the face of that - a combination of fuck off and flower power - having a sense of humor and playfulness when things get ugly.

Haleek Maul Releases Debut EP Oxyconteen
Haleek Maul, who is from the island of Barbados, but was born in Brooklyn, just turned 16. His debut album, entitled Oxyconteen, out now for free on Merok Records, has a slew of references to drugs, sex, suicide, and murder. Haleek is managed by Milo Cordell, owner of Merok Records, who has put out albums by the likes of Active Child, Rainbow Arabia and Salem – Cordell is also a member of the band The Big Pink. Haleek is already getting a lot of love from listeners and non-listeners of rap, because the album seems to be an amalgamation of a lot of different genres. Oxyconteen, rife with the aforemention subjects, has the perfect amount of teenage angst, but there is something about Haleek that is more dimensional and creative that makes his debut album deserve a closer listen.
