TEETH

Extremism Is Purple
Glitchy fucked-up noise punk from Dalston, England. TEETH combine the spazzy apocalyptic rhythms of HEALTH with the bootsy dance beats of the English underground DIY grime scene. Their music is akin to an infestation of vermin, all filthy and infested with obnoxious bugs, but for those of us who like nasty diseased specimens TEETH totally appeal to our sick minds. They come from an extreme end of the punk spectrum, where electronics are an accepted device and dance music isn’t the enemy, it’s the progressive older brother.
John Famiglietti from HEALTH once told me that he wanted to be as “forward-thinking as some other genres that are doing things electronically”, and that same concept applies to TEETH, whose music pushes strongly in the direction of electronic dance music and like HEALTH, somewhat reinvents the traditional punk band structure.
The band has hooked up with Moshi Moshi Records and will be releasing their latest offspring, a 7″ record titled See Spaces on July 12. Moshi Moshi Records had a hand in some of the biggest releases of 2009, including The Drums’ Summertime EP and Florence and the Machine’s album Lungs. They’ve also released singles by Casiokids, Slow Club, Matt and Kim, Friendly Fires and Late Of The Pier.
You can download an early version of ‘See Spaces’ below which appeared on TEETH’s Jammers demo EP, released last year. A newer version of the song, which sounds a little bit like HEALTH’s recent single ‘USA Boys’ can be heard on their myspace page, along with the b-side for the See Spaces 7″ titled ‘Time Changes’.
