text: Playing through Teenage Blob is arguably the first time in years that I’ve combed through my teenhood with such clarity and nostalgia. A joint creative effort from Team Lazerbeam and The Superweaks, Teenage Blob is essentially a six-track video game LP that pumps you full of warm, rosy serotonin – a gift from the gods during the pandemic. It’s cute. It’s heartwarming. It’s a blast back to the days when you still had the energy and hormones to run around town. It’s something you want to play loud on good speakers and think about that one sick outfit you maybe can’t find or fit into anymore, the one you wore to gigs that made you feel ten feet tall.
  There isn’t much to the game – the magic happens across a single day where you, Teenage Blob, have to scrape together enough money to look good and buy swag at your favourite band’s show. The Superweaks’ music scores a joyous romp through town as you hit up your various jobs across town: sandwich delivery person, guitar seller, and skateboarder. In the brief interstitial scenes of dialogue, you can choose to play nice, or you can choose to crank up the attitude. Each little mini-game is a full-throated paean to the glory of being young and broke, and your biggest problem is getting a sweet new pair of booties.
  Chances are that if you’re reading this, the odds are low that you’re a teenager. If you are, you probably don’t need to get this game. Teenage Blob is for people like me – people who need to extract the essence of this game and chop it up into a fine powder and find a reasonable way to carefully ingest and ration its power. Maybe sprinkle it in a protein shake or a green juice. Millennials can have a little Teenage Blob, as a treat.
  
  Danish electronic musician, Trentemøller, returns with the creeping "Sleeper," his first official release in three years.
  This atmospheric track is dark, haunting, and serves as a reminder of Trentemøller's chameleon ways, able to shift and change genres without ever feeling out of place. "Sleeper" slowly builds towards a chilling climax and is a welcome back from the composer and producer.
  If you're digging this one, be sure to check out a piece of music he wrote and recorded with Lisbet Fritze for a short film featuring Sean Penn and Helena Christensen here.
