Teengirl Fantasy
Teengirl Fantasy is Logan and Nick, two friends at Oberlin College in Ohio. It's tough to classify Teengirl Fantasy's music within one genre - both <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Harmonia" class="bbcode_artist">Harmonia</a> and <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/CeCe+Peniston" class="bbcode_artist">CeCe Peniston</a> serve as equal reference points. Teengirl Fantasy's love of drone, 4/4, and warm gating synths force new classifications of electronic music. Their debut album, 7AM, was released in September 2010 through True Panther Sounds/Merok labels.
