Teenager is the third album from Irish band The Thrills. It was released on July 22, 2007 in Ireland and three days later in Europe. The first single from the album was "Nothing Changes Around Here". The second release taken from the album was "The Midnight Choir" which was released as a download-only single. Teenager reached No. 48 on the UK Albums Chart.[1]
The album was demoed and written in Ireland, with the band recording and mixing the album in Vancouver and California.
The Thrills were dropped by EMI after the poor sales performance of Teenager.[2]
The cover photograph, Wild Horses, 1979, is by Joseph Szabo.
