Bear in Heaven is another indie band with synths from Brooklyn, and “Lovesick Teenagers” is another minor-key, moderately down-tempo song for lying in bed and staring at the ceiling. And you know what? it’s pretty damn good — the synth line finds that groove — the beauty of repetition that seems to be DFA records’ ethos — but this isn’t dance music, or even music for dancing.
Jon Philpot’s vocals are mournful, and this song feels like a dirge for, well, a love now past. When he sings “lovesick teenagers/don’t ever die/they will live forever/even when you’re too old/and you think you know more,” it stirs up all those moments of ache and want, when love was a million miles and a thousand years away.

This is gorgeous, I love it.
I dunno, it sounds kind of bland to me.
I listened to this when Edward Droste from Grizzly Bear tweeted it, I fell in love. It’s so epic on an emotional level. Very good stuff.
