Teenage Wrist Share Extended Album ‘Still Love Deluxe’
Marking the culmination of eight years of artistic and personal growth, Teenage Wrist released their third full-length record ‘Still Love’ last year and showcased a self-produced testament to their evolved songwriting and musical maturity. Today, the band continues the project with ‘Still Love Deluxe’, adding eight alternate versions of tracks from the original album. Featuring a blend of live recordings and guest mixes, the band drops a stripped-down rendition of title track “Still Love (Acoustic) feat. Softcult” out now. Listen below!

Frontman Marshall Gallagher reveals, “As satisfied as we were with the original release of ‘Still Love’, we found ourselves with an awful lot of live multitracks and alternate mixes after the first few months. They were too good not to leak, especially the Ken Andrews mix of "Sunshine". He and Kurt Ballou are high up on our GOAT list, so you can imagine how it felt getting mixes back from them with compliments.”
Speaking on the process behind the live mixes, Gallagher continues, “Last year we had a blowout of a homecoming show at the Lodge Room and we were lucky enough to get raw tracks from our engineer JJ Moser. We did our best to mix it well and capture the electricity of that night and a few other dates on that tour. Making the record and touring on it was a particularly special time in our lives, both in and out of the context of the band, I had a blast revisiting it one more time.”
The writing process for ‘Still Love’ started in early 2022 with a retreat in Joshua Tree that inspired experimentation and allowed a sense of liberation to flow throughout the record, even into the artwork and visuals. Instead of relying on nostalgia, the dynamic between Marshall Gallagher and Anthony Salazar drove them to push the limits not only of Teenage Wrist’s sound, but their own personal forms of creative expression. “We didn’t have a preconception about how we were going to be received for this record, so we decided we should just create something organic that we feel completely present making,” Salazar explains. “There was no other intent than for us to express ourselves.”
