“Lens Through a Different Light” is a haunting success from Lonely Teenage, a project formed in 2016. Lonely Teenage’s tracks on Soundcloud show a convincing stylistic vision, aesthetically somewhere between The War on Drugs’ road-friendly rock, Wild Nothing’s jangly beauty, and The Go-Betweens’ eclectic charm. The newly released “Lens Through a Different Light” is the most impressive to date. An awakening array of synths and shimmers open things up, steadily supplanted by a twangy guitar lead and reverberating vocal presence. The track captivates from there on, with gorgeous lingering guitar tones at the mid-point especially. This is definitely a project I’m looking forward to hearing more from.
