ALBUMS OF THE YEAR #15 Two Bicycles - The Ocean Instrumental music to wallow in and surround yourself with; from electronic producer Teen Daze's side project Two Bicycles comes an immensely powerful vocal-less mix, of which the Vancouver producer provides this insight: "The record tells the story of a night spent at sea. The beauty and hope that comes with the watching of the sun set, swimming in the moonlight and looking back at life back on land in fondness and happiness. But as the night falls, and the endless ocean reveals itself as [...]

Welcome to FWBA's best-of 2011. This has been such a meaningful year in music to me that it's tough to represent in one post. I'm going to be honest, this took me quite a long time. I wanted to do this year justice because personally, it was a total dream: living in San Diego working with some of my favorite artists, going to SXSW and Lollapalooza, seeing Dave Bazan in stranger's living rooms, Feist play a hometown show, saw tune-yards electrified show at Soda Bar clocking in as one of my favorite performances, watching Zach Rogue and my boyfriend playing [...]
31. Wild Flag - "Future Crimes" Few straight-on rock acts forced me to pay attention this year like Wild Flag (which features Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney.) This track in particular summons up the urgency & ferocity of the best of that legendary band. 32. Teen Daze - "The Harvest" - youtube This is from Teen Daze's 2011 concept album based on C.S. Lewis's Out Of The Silent Planet , and is also inspired by the time that Teen [...]

Two Bicycles , Teen Daze's stunning ambient/acoustic project, never disappoints. Layers of reverberating guitars and echoing vocals turn his latest demo ' In Between ' into a distant dawn— early waves of lights brush the mountain peaks on either side of the valley and the road rolling through it.

Teen Daze is Two Bicycles... Two Bicyles is Teen Daze... Teen Daze is the man! I'll get the flaunting out of the way first; Brick and I just secured our tickets to see Teen Daze at Glasslands in Brooklyn in 12 short days; which is especially exciting after we heard his most recent work on the 35-minute long Tour EP . The EP is nine tracks of Teen Daze expanding his arsenal of cool in the warmest way possible; it's simultaneously both his danciest and most relaxing stuff. Even when he [...]

Eclairé par une dynamo céleste, le Canadien Teen Daze emprunte un sentier aquatique plus serein dans un album abyssal sans mots. Révélant le penchant plus obscur ou conceptuel de leur univers musical, les side projects abondent chez les artistes, garants d'une créativité bi-dimensionnelle et d'une grande ouverture d'esprit. Jamais essouflé, Teen Daze navigue entre beach gaze et dream pop, dérivant sur des contrées dépareillées agrémentées de remix chimériques. Avec Two Bicyles , le créateur du label Cultus Vibes renoue avec une certaine clairvoyance qui, à ce titre, représente un [...]

Two Bicycles - I'm Not Afraid To Wait For You Two Bicycles is an ambient no-vocals side project from Jamison of Teen Daze. These soundscapes are all magnificently constructed and full of life and depth. This is the type of music one will have to sit back and focus on. The type that's not always easy to figure out, but worth the effort of exploring. "The new Two Bicycles record is one of the most personal records I've made to date. Even though there aren't any vocals on the record, [...]
Found-footage director Jamie Harley made this video for Two Bicycles song, "Moon Colours", a side project of the guy otherwise known as Teen Daze, Jamison Dick. There's not much I can coherently say about the strangely beautiful journey of The Little Toy Canoe That Could other than that it kind of sounds like an episode of Friday Night Lights , so I'll just let the man speak for himself: "The new Two Bicycles record is one of the most personal records I've made to date. Even though there aren't any vocals on the record, [...]
