Teenage Halloween release split with The Homeless Gospel Choir, list favorite LPs of 2021

After spending months apart from each other and feeling the bitter bite of quarantine, we wanted to write songs for each other to help us get through the lonely times. "Pittsburgh Shoes and "Harrisburg Shoes" are love songs written to encourage and uplift one another and remind ourselves about the goodness that is to come.

It was amazing for us to all be in a room together playing music and capturing the magical moments of being a band. All of the elements and musicality that is so important, small nuances, and inside jokes are all laid out in a way that you can hear everything.

More Homeless Gospel Choir music is coming in 2022 via Don Giovanni, so stay tuned for that.

With the year coming to a close, we asked Teenage Halloween what their favorite albums of 2021 were, and Luk, keyboardist Jane Lai, and guitarist Eli Frank all made us top 10s. Their lists are all very different, and you can check them out below.

Teenage Halloween were also scheduled to play BrooklynVegan-presented shows in Philly and Brooklyn this month, but those were cancelled due to COVID. Their self-tilted LP was also recently pressed on "electric smoke" vinyl. Pick it up here.
