Teenage Dads have built a name in the Australian indie music scene known for their fun vibe and unique sound. But their new EP, My Memento, released on August 22 through Chugg Music, shows a different side of the band. These tracks originally appeared as hidden gems on vinyl versions of their album Majordomo.
Now, this small collection gives a more personal look at their past work.
The highlight of the EP is the song “Stay Between Us.”
It’s a calm and heartfelt track with soft acoustic sounds, piano touches, and a rhythm section that stays in the background. It’s very different from their earlier, more energetic singles. This song gives a moment of introspection and emotional honesty. The band uses gentle sincerity, showing that quiet moments can be just as powerful as big, loud choruses.
What makes My Memento special is that it acts as both a connection and a discovery.
Fans who found these songs in limited editions already knew their value, but now they get the chance to shine properly. The EP feels like a secret shared with those willing to listen closely. It shows Teenage Dads are growing as songwriters, moving beyond just catchy hooks to explore mood, space, and restraint.
The timing of the release is also meaningful.
After their album Majordomo earned them a lot of attention and a number one debut in Australia, they could have gone for another similar release. Instead, they’ve chosen to feature tracks that focus on delicacy rather than big spectacle. This shows they’re moving toward a more mature artistic direction. With tours planned in Europe and Australia this fall, My Memento feels like a gift for loyal fans and a quiet sign of what’s ahead.
