We're so excited to finally share this new full-length album. "We Live Here Now" is inspired by our new life in San Diego. After our move from NJ four years ago, there were many highs and lows. From spending time at the beach to being trapped indoors during a pandemic, this collection of songs captures those feelings. "We Live Here Now" is a phrase my wife and I say over an over. It still feels surreal packing up life and moving across the country.

This album is full of thick synth bass lines, crunchy powerful drums, lush synth textures, floaty stacked vocals, and range from upbeat energetic bangers to hard grooving jams. Steve's guitars range from soft and acoustic to dark and dirty. From light to dark, this album has a full range of emotion and inspired by life. It's also reflected in the cover art by showing the Lake Murray sky in a unique way. This album is perfect for fans of bands like M83, New Order, and 311 to even modern synthwave and indie acts like Com Truise and Empire of the Sun. There is a little influence of everything we love on this album. This is TEEEL - "We Live Here Now". Enjoy!  - Jim of TEEEL

Lyrics:

Big machines that gather our food
Bots that try to tell when we’re rude
Is this really the plan that we made
Razing the ground that we simulate

You make me want to shut it down, oh

Selling the worthless to much greater fools
Normalization of surveillance tools
Give it a price and now it has worth
Oh what a sociopath we have birthed

(You make me want to shut it down
oh, oh, o-o-o-oh—ooh)

You make me want to shut it down, oh
Oh, you make me want to shut it down
Oh-ooh
You make me want to shut it down (I don’t think this should exist, no)
and start anew (I don’t think this should exist, no)
and make something better
You make me want to shut it down (I don’t think this should exist, no)
and yes I will (I don’t think this should exist, no)
help it grow
oh-oh

"Teeel just released his latest full-length album, Hydrostatic on Mush Records. Fans of his debut, Amulet  and follow-up, University Hights know what to expect: big productions that sound like the electro-pop spawn of New Order and Toro Y Moi. With nods to giants like New Order and Daft Punk and modern critic darlings Washed Out and Toro Y Moi, Hydrostatic has all the makings of a synth-pop breakthrough. "Temple Of The Sun" kicks the album off with a perfect piece of songcraft. Intricate synth and guitar work dance around a bouncing bass line, laying the foundation for the first of an album full of vocal hooks. "Disc Go" is a clear standout with equal parts Chromeo style playfulness, Tom Tom Club rubbery bass, and a repetitive synth line that harkens to filter-based Frech house music. With standouts like "You're Mine" and "Runners" anchoring the album, Teeel switches up styles from track to track delivering dancefloor ready grooves, dark washes of synthesized brooding, and pop hook after pop hook.

"Imperial"
You are brilliant
And you are bright
Like the stars and planets in the sky
And the galaxy is in your eyes
We come together and form our lives

The universe is ours
The universe is ours
The universe is ours
The universe is ours

We are fantasy 
We make believe we hover
We are majesty
We rise above the others
Change the prophecy which is a cover
My astronomy shows that we are lovers

The universe is ours
The universe is ours
The universe is ours
The universe is ours
