Is there something in the water in the dorm rooms of Oberlin College? The Ohio institution has educated a notable number of eclectic musicians, including Liz Phair, Karen O, Alex Scally of Beach House, and, most recently, the turntablists Nick Weiss and Logan Takashi of the synth-dream duo Teengirl Fantasy. The twosome makes music that incongruously combines sharp futuristic electronica with washes of retro soul and R&B samples. Its odd and fluttery, but its also incredibly hypnotic and relaxing. Teengirl Fantasys debut full-length, the delicate 7am, contains a reimagining of Rose Royces 70s Motown classic Love Dont Live Here Anymore (also covered by Madonna in 1984) that oozes with a cool slow-motion sensuality.
