Taste of Me by Teenage Joans

Taste of Me was the first EP from Teenage Joans, the Australian duo of Tahlia Borg and Cahli Blakers, and they put it out on their own through Domestic La La on 28 May 2021. The two wrote and recorded every note themselves, with Jarred Nettle producing, working from songs they'd been writing all through 2019 and landing it after a long stretch on the road and the 2020 single "Three Leaf Clover", which had won them Triple J's Unearthed High contest.

It's bright, bratty alt-rock with a sugar rim: "Ice Cream" is a sticky blast of fun, "Something About Being Sixteen" is a big-riffed, growing-up singalong, and "Wine" completes the trio of singles that paved the way. Critics loved it, the EP took both Best Release and Best Cover Art at the 2021 South Australian Music Awards, and it climbed to number 7 on the ARIA vinyl albums chart.
