Good Fruit, the fourth full-length from Bushwick based TEEN, arrives at a time of transition and growth for the band. Recently, TEEN scaled back their lineup from a four-piece to a trio comprised solely of the Lieberson sisters. That inexplicable familial chemistry is omnipresent on Good Fruit, as the sisters completely self-produced the album, allowing them to successfully accentuate their vocal strengths, focus their vision, and vary their stylistic inklings from track to track, and quite often, within songs.
The trio’s powerful and seamless vocal harmonies remain front and center on Good Fruit, as their voices continue to permeate through a myriad of spiraling synths, drum machine backbeats, and brass instruments. Their bright harmonies belie what many would assume to be a direct, pop-oriented direction, but even a cursory listen of Good Fruit reveals more sonic layers to sift through.
