Still Life

Future Teens are growing up together. It’s been ten years since they coined the term ‘bummer pop’ to describe their tracks about romantic frustrations, misfortunes and miscommunications. As you get older, the bummers get heavier and more complex, but the friendships and life lessons that help carry you through them also grow deeper and more meaningful. On their fourth album Still Life, the band — guitarists/vocalists Daniel Radin and Amy Hoffman and drummer Colby Blauvelt — present a collection of headfirst dives into grief, anger, shame, regret, identity, and ultimately, the hope that only comes from winning a staring contest with the abyss. Hoffman and Radin were using their songwriting to process the heavy life changes that have ushered in their mid-thirties: personal losses, Hoffman’s journey to sobriety, and the general stock-taking of your life that comes with age. They recorded across several months, resulting in a version of Future Teens that sounds more polished and expansive than ever before. The record follows 2017’s Hard Feelings, 2019’s Breakup Season and 2022’s Self Help, as well as tours with the likes of The Wonder Years, Hot Mulligan, Oso Oso, Aaron West and Free Throw. All the while, they band have prioritized building a community of fans and fellow bands based around friendship, vulnerability and joy, an antidote to music industry pressure that has kept Future Teens treading their own path for over a decade.
