Houses is the project of Dexter Tortoriell. He records beautifully ambient synth-po p (a.k.a. chillwave) that is particularly sunny and brightly lit. Normally, I would say it is a sign of lazy writing to quote large portions of text directly from a band's bio, but in this case I'm making an exception because Dexter's description of the recording process is almost poetic and actually gives you a sense of what the music sounds like. From the bio: "I got laid off from my job at the end of last year and decided I needed a change. My girlfriend put in her [...]
Teen Daze has been one of our favorite 2010 remix artists with his beautiful edits of EB staple artists such as Twin Sister, Yeasayer and Local Natives. Teen Daze's most recent collaboration with a new act Houses is something special. We featured Houses on our previous Jam Association post Monday with their song Soak It Up and promised to follow up with more goodness from them. They have two songs out thus far but have talked about doing a EP together in the near future. Like we mentioned on Monday, Houses will [...]
![[Indie/Ambient] Houses – Soak It Up](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2820486_lg.jpg)
When you're a quasi-anonymous up and comer from Chicago with a hazy sound and a nice beat, it really just makes perfect sense to team up with a quasi-anonymous up and comer from Vancouver to make some songs. And such is the case with Houses and Teen Daze. We couldn't really find much out about Houses but we did get some background from Neu Magazine , who told us that the duo, in the latest in this summer's set of DIY significant other music makers, moved to Hawaii on a whim thanks to this country's [...]
Another sign of my recent descent into the land of people who no longer keep up with anything. I only just learned that Vancouver's Teen Daze , whose Four More Years is working it's way up my list of favorite albums of the year, has collaborated with Chicago's Houses to produce "Bikes", a pretty impressive venture further into whatever sound they've both created over this past year. When you can make a song totally dreamy and still add in a fast beat pretty seamlessly, it's likely that I'm going to like it. [...]
[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] Emeralds head man Mark McGuire *insert baseball reference here* is on the right track to grabbing up a Best Of 2010 song on my end of the year list. Not only is this song a bubbly lush piece of work but there's dynamics, it blooms when the distorted guitars hit, I want more. I have no info on this collab besides posting plenty of Teen Daze on the blog. Part of me hesitates to say this but stripped down there is some Selected [...]
Houses : Soak It Up + Bikes & Destiny (feat. Teen Daze ) - MP3 Une fois de plus, c'est un couple qui se planque derrière le pseudo Houses . Dexter et Megan ont tout quitter pour aller vivre à Hawaii et se sont mis à la musique pour passer le temps. Le resultat de leur coup d'essai s'appelle All Night , un LP aérien annoncé pour le 19 octobre. En avant goût, le duo offre [...]

The story behind Houses is an inspiring one. After getting fired from his job, Dexter Tortoriell & his girlfriend Megan Messina left the country to live in Hawaii, learning how to live off of our earth. Dexter would record music in his downtime there, and the result is the band's debut album, All Night . You can hear "Soak It Up", a song from All Night that's available for free download. It's a light airy number that sounds like it could be playing to a beautiful sunrise that leaves you speechless. It's imminent [...]
Houses' Endless Spring er klart et af mine absolut favorit tracks i 2010 (hør det i mit tidligere indlæg ) og nu er der nyt fra kæresteparret Dexter Tortoriello og Megan Messina, der til sammen udgør Houses. Mine forventninger har været tårnhøje, men heldigvis skuffer det nye nummer Soak It Up ikke! At lytte til Houses er fortsat sådan ca. som at mærke en mild brise kærtegne ens ansigt fra en skyfri himmel. Houses — Soak It Up Houses — Soak It [...]
Its a three day weekend yall! So I figured with an extra day off tomorrow, its like having a DOUBLE Sunday! Almost better than a double rainbow! This collection of 10 tracks is my way of saying... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Houses/Teen Daze - Bikes (Pepepiano Remix)
Teen Daze // Four More Years // Arcade Sound Teen Daze has taken the internet by storm since he started posting music up on his Tumblr in late April of this year. According to this really interesting interview from Beyond Robson, the project had been going little more than a few weeks before Pitchfork caught wind, and since then he's gone on to be featured more than five times on the music blog's esteemed pages. Tracks such as "Shine On You Crazy White Cap" and "Gone For The Summer (Part Two)" circulated [...]
Teen Daze "Four More Years" (Arcade Sound Ltd, July 23rd) If I could only dub one album the perfect summer of 2010 album it would be the debut from Teen Daze called Four More Years. Here is my "Tweet" Review of their eight track gem. "Four More Years": Hazy instrumental opening, a more rock based version of BMSR. "Gone For The Summer": Roll down the window and let the warmth fill your car. This one ends suddenly, but so does summer. "Neon": Nearly full-blown electro-rock with almost non-existent vocals float [...]
Canadian ethereally chill act Teen Daze are gearing up for their first-ever US tour stops next month, hitting California like a gold rush with shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Irvine, San Diego and Sunnyvale (wait, isn't that the town from "Buffy"?). It's really quite hard not to instantly like this band, as the Vancouver [...]
This collaborative effort between chillwave minds Teen Daze & Houses surely seems like it was made to be, so it makes sense that they titled their first song together "Destiny". Both artists are young masters at creating dreamy songs that chill your mind and help drift you away to a ecstasy-like state. "Destinty" combines the best of both of their sounds, creating total bliss. This just continues the winning streak that Teen Daze has been on this year. It's t he craze of teen daze folks. I've had "Destiny" on loop and plan [...]

Something extra special in store today. No strangers to Song Of The Day, in the short space of time that bedroom acts Houses and Teen Daze have been making music, their output has quickly become a solid mainstay on the TLOBF office speakers. Imagine our excitement then, when we stumbled over this little gem over on the Teen Daze tumblr . Posted as a stream yesterday evening, the words 'Destiny' flooded across my Twitter account via multiple re-tweets around the same time as Pitchfork announced their new sister site Altered Zones - [...]
