Teen of Denial: Joe’s Story
‘Teens Of Denial’ Reimagined With New Songs, Updated Arrangements, And Alternate Lyrics Celebrating The Album’s 10th Anniversary
This newly recorded version of the album, now titled ‘Teen of Denial: (Joe’s Story) features three new original tracks.
On the original album, Toledo often used the name “Joe” as a pseudonym – a sly homage to Daniel Johnston. Revisiting Teens in the run-up to its 10th birthday, he felt called to give Joe a unique backstory and began tweaking the album to tell that tale.
The group returned to the studio with Teens producer Steve Fisk to update accordingly – tweaking lyrics, revising arrangements, and recording new songs in the “Denial-style,” including “Optimistic Son” and the anthemic “Joe Drives Again.” The result retains Teens’ dark edge and youthful cynicism, but allows a bit of hard-won compassion into the mix
