When the music of Yoodoo Park first emerged last summer, he joined the growing pool of young artists trading in hazy, lazy and some would say forgettable pop steeped in a reverb and nostalgia. He must’ve been eating his Wheaties since. The Japan-born, southern California-reared 20-year-old, who makes music as GRMLN, has unveiled the first single from his forthcoming album for Carpark Records, “Empire.” “Teenage Rhythm” is a raucous, straight-ahead blast of power-pop. something that (ahem) veteran guitar-rockers like Redd Kross or the Velvet Crush might have dashed off (and added a guitar solo to). The album, made with his brother Tae San Park on bass and friend Keith Frerichs on drums and recorded with Patrick Brown and Sean Paulson (Toro Y Moi), comes out June 4.
