GLASGOW pop four-piece TeenCanteen have gone back to the beginning for their upcoming release.

To mark the five year anniversary of their lauded debut album, Say It All With A Kiss, the quartet decided to unleash This Is How It Starts - the collection of recordings that should have been their debut album four years prior.

How We Met (Cherry Pie) is the lead single from the upcoming album, and it’s the shimmering ray of sunshine that heralded a warranted buzz around TeenCanteen when they formed in 2012.

A reimagined version of the track would later go on to feature on their debut album, but this original bright sparky version of the track feels just as fresh as when people fell in love with it on the soundtrack of Karen Gillan led rom-com Not Another Happy Ending.

Lead singer and songwriter Carla Easton said: “Cherry Pie was that song that just fell out of thin air; I didn’t have to think about it too much, I was just at the beginning of a new romance and was all excited. It’s a total happy, fallen-for-someone song.

“I think of it as the first TeenCanteen song, it was the first one writing it where I was like: 'Wait a minute I’m onto something here'.

"It was just exciting - it was the first track that we went: 'That’s us'.

“It’s a total slushy DIY innocent indie-pop love song; it’s not trying to be anything more than that, but I think that’s why so many people connected with it.

"It’s fun, it’s fresh, it’s raw, it’s exciting, it’s DIY, it’s indie pop and it’s long overdue for release.”

This Is How It Starts is due August 2021, with a vinyl release from Last Night From Glasgow/HIVE.
