Ex-Japanese Motors' Alex Knost & Girlfriend Christina Keyes Say Hello To Summer with Eternally Teenage Out July 19th on Galaxia Records
WATCH: "Casual Hopelessness" (video via Vimeo)
Tomorrows Tulips' Alex Knost started The Japanese Motors with his friend Nolan when he was 17, signed to Vice Records, and toured the world with bands like Modest Mouse, The Growlers, White Lies, and others. Eventually, Knost wrote some songs and started a band with his girlfriend Christina Keyes , which ultimately became Tomorrows Tulips. They recently announced the arrival of their debut full length album Eternally Teenage out July 19th, 2011 via Galaxia Records on cd, vinyl, and digital download. The title track was made available as a free download, and now NYLON Magazine has premiered the second single from the album--the romping, addictive "Casual Hopelessness"--to run alongside their short Q&A with Knost. An accompanying video can be found right here as well.
More info on Tomorrows Tulips:
Right after forming and playing a handful of live shows, the duo went into Mike Mchugh's analog studio The Distillery in Costa Mesa, CA, and recorded a hand full of demos. They were simple. Sparse. Immediate. Fucked up. But... catchy, with a simple honesty. Between the quirky instrumental interludes, the hypnotic drug born soundscapes, and the Knost's wide range vocal stunt work, Tomorrows Tulips have created an album that, quite simply, will get stuck in your head for weeks. Beyond that though, at it's core, Eternally Teenage is an addictive offering of crisply, blissful doo wop with shades of garage, drones, and crooning that complete the picture. Tomorrows Tulips will be doing a string of live dates later this summer.
