CHALK TEETH - s/t LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition enamel white colour vinyl.
Highly recommended.
The debut self-titled full length from Los Angeles-based trio Chalk Teeth. A fully DIY endeavor written, recorded, and mixed in the band’s North Hollywood rehearsal space, the album is an expression of human imperfection, discomfort, exuberance and bliss, compressed and emitted as elegant electronic doom.
“Shoegaze-tinged, motorik dark wave. Black glass synths, washed in noise-rock guitar, with Polish vocals, propelled by relentless drum machine pulses.” - UPROXX
"I doubt anyone will sing along as this is an album hellbent on the creation of atmosphere and an atmosphere with many attached shadows at that. The drum machine underpins everything with those patterns evoking the days of primitive electronica when everything of worth to the curious and the trendy was to be found underground. It is , perhaps, no surprise that a certain stylistic rigidity entirely consistent with genre expectations is therefore enforced with guitars, synths and those artfully foreign words combining to create a musical experience that the night people will recognise as the work of those that are of their own. There is undoubtedly a deliberately oppressive quality about all of the music that fits into the darkwave genre and Chalk Teeth duly fit their round peg into the round hole whilst adding a dash of suitably laconic stylistic seasoning to their recipe." - Bluesbunny
