Presenting New Music
Download free at Bandcamp: There Is Only Teenage Love 

Originally recorded during sessions for the debut album; available for the first time now. The first in the collection of imaginary B-Sides. 

Further evolution of the TINTAL sound, featuring heavy 808 drums, Moog bass lines, and prominent synth; “There Is Only Teenage Love” evokes long nights sitting alone in your high school bedroom clutching a tear-stained notebook full of terrible poetry.

Available as a free high-quality download at Bandcamp.

i’m very please to finally present this video, which i filmed and directed for the super-talented bleu. the haunting, sad, and supremely catchy song was a fabulous canvas for this visual project. the track features some gorgeous strings by the section quartet and lovely background vocals by andy sturmer (of the band jellyfish).

many thanks to the fabulous performers: amber bollinger, heather ann davis, jessica, kirsten parton, sage mears, sugar, terra jo and, of course, bleu.

special thanks to those who helped out along the way: suzy goldish, jessie hail, gina hirsch, justin kirk, eric kissack, kara neko, stacey peck, katie shapiro.

Months and months ago, I shot the footage for what is soon to be a music video. The artist, Bleu, is quite a talent. Surf on over to his page and give him a listen. His lovely song, “There’s No Such Thing as Love” is simultaneously beautiful, sad and very catchy. A perfectly crafted three and half minute pop song, it was quite the canvas for creating a visual story and I’m excited to unleash it very shortly.

A few screen grabs from the current edit of the project are below. A million thanks to the wonderful performers: Amber, Amanda, Heather, Jessica, Kirsten, Sage, Terra and, of course, Bleu himself.

Stay tuned for the video release.

david j of bauhaus and love and rockets fame. and a heck of a nice guy.
