British Asian songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dewan-Dean Soomary returns with a new project that blends the snappy pop sensibility of indie disco with the bleak humour and biting social commentary of post-punk.

Teenage Sequence tells acid-tongued and relatable stories about the humiliations and alienations of modern life: the casual racism of the music industry or your crush, the endless series of hangovers that keep you stuck as an eternal kid, the despair of living in a world on the verge of destruction, the yearning when you fall in love despite all of this. Lush synthesisers, fuzzy guitars, and relentless 909 beats build a soundscape that is as sleek, pulsing, merciless, and ultimately as irresistible as London itself— demanding that the listener dance, even as it reminds them that the dance-floor is burning. 

Teenage Sequence’s debut single “All This Art” turns a scathing eye on the small indignities and hypocrisies of a music industry that doesn’t want face its own racial shortcomings— all the while poking fun at its self and sarcastically  sending up the warped relationship we all have to ourselves and our art. 
Clocking in at 6.29 of spoken word over a dance beat as bright, tart, and cutting as the song’s lyrics, “All This Art” disregards the rules of modern pop and alternative songwriting in favour of brutal honesty and bittersweet fun.
