SCAD Radio Content Director Ian Dziura sat down for an interview with Teeny Lieberson, a member of alternative band TEEN.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I understand you started the band, so when exactly did the decision to include both siblings come about?<\/strong> Teeny- The band started while I was still in another band called Hero We Go Magic and at that point it was a bunch of different people playing in the band, Jen Turner from Here We Go Magic was playing, as well as an old friend Maia Ibar. Once we started discussing making a record, then I asked my sisters to come on board. You did a few shows with Will Butler from Arcade Fire. Do you have any memorable moments from that stint?<\/strong> My little sister, Lizzie, is now in a relationship with Miles, who is playing drums with Will Butler, so they met on that tour. You just released a new album, <\/strong>Good Fruit<\/em><\/strong>. Is there a track on here that\u2019s a collective favorite of the group?<\/strong> I don\u2019t think so, because Lizzie writes some of the material, and I write some of the material\u2026 I feel like when you make a record, your favorite switches all the time. Right now, my favorite is \u201cRadar\u201d, which Lizzie wrote; it\u2019s a great song. There are whirling synths all over your music. Are you fans of synth artists like Robyn or the band CHVRCHES?<\/strong> Robyn, for sure, we\u2019re huge fans of Robyn. And yeah, the band we just toured with, Methyl Ethyl, uses a lot of synthesizers, too. I know Lizzie feels the same way that we don\u2019t really listen to a ton of only-guitar music. If it doesn\u2019t have keyboards, it doesn\u2019t really grab my attention personally. I think it\u2019s kind of a requirement for music that I like these days. I have a feeling I might know the answer to this one, but where did you get the band\u2019s name from?<\/strong> What\u2019s your guess? (Laughs) I\u2019m assuming it was derived from your name?<\/strong> Yes, that is correct. Who writes your lyrics, and do you prefer a song\u2019s sound to the lyrical meaning?<\/strong> Well, Lizzie and I both write lyrics, and I think I tend to be music-minded first because I write more like a producer. I don\u2019t really sit down with a guitar all the time and write songs, but I definitely like to think about what I\u2019m saying. It\u2019s not just throwaway stuff\u2026 I think Lizzie might be the opposite, she might be lyrically-minded first. I know she writes some words before she puts music to it. I don\u2019t really like, write a poem or lyrics before I put music to it. SCAD Radio Content Director Ian Dziura sat down for an interview with Teeny Lieberson, a member of alternative band TEEN.
