Teeth - See Spaces

Teeth - See Spaces
Single Reviews

It all works out remarkably well...



Label: Moshi Moshi
Released: 16th August 2010
Reviewer: Linda Martin
Teeth seem to be well under way to becoming one of those ‘Next Big Things’: they’ve got the Pitchfork support, the band member hailing from LA (absolutely essential these days) and even some good music to convince anyone who dares to doubt them after hearing those facts. The Dalston three piece really seem to be set for stardom, and with the release of their debut single ‘See Spaces’ the NME front page seems imminent.

‘See Spaces’ copies the dance punk vibe of HEALTH’s ‘Die Slow’, but mixes it up a bit with Crystal Castles without Alice Glass’s screeching trying to distract you from the fact that the music is actually pretty catchy. Instead, Veronica So glazes the track with dreamy vocals that would certainly not be misplaced on your average chillwave album. It all works out remarkably well.

And if that’s not danceable enough for you, then there’s the B-side ‘Time Changes’ that harbours an intro that would make Röyksopp very proud (‘Tricky Tricky’ anyone?) and pays even more homage to the aforementioned Crystal Castles.

Teeth (or TEETH!!!, T3ETH or even T∑∑TH) score major points with this single, even Karl Lagerfeld approves of them – though he is also know to support bands such as Moke (no, you don’t want to know) so maybe you should just give it a listen yourself. Rating: 9/10
