This gig is for a standing audience.
Blasting their way through all or any genre distinctions in a storied journey across the chaos and nonsense of sixteen years, London’s TEETH OF THE SEA remain true to their original mission - to set sparks flying at the meeting point between raw noise and rich atmosphere. Thundering beat-driven abandon, chaotic psychedelia, heavy melancholia and indelible melody have all coalesced and converged on their five albums for Rocket Recordings.
From the basements of East London, Teeth Of The Sea have forged forward intrepidly over twelve years, four albums and two EPs to become heralded as the UK’s most adventurous and unclassifiable outfit in the realm of the psychedelic. As inspired by virulent garage-driven noise as austere avant-garde experimentation and driven by soundtrack atmospherics, jazz exploration and electronic dissonance alike, they’ve outgrown their original influences (Butthole Surfers, Eno, Goblin, Aphex Twin, Throbbing Gristle) to forge a sound both richly celestial and acidically synapse-scorching.
It’s a journey that’s taken them to European festivals like Roadburn, Milhoes De Festa, Eindhoven Psych Lab and Incubate, seen them perform specially curated live soundtrack work in Romania, Cork and CERN, and led them to devastate UK events like Supersonic, Supernormal, Latitude, Bestival and Green Man – all the while forging forward heedlessly into chaos and fresh discovery anew.
With each new album set to further terrify and transfix in ways never heard before, Teeth Of The Sea continue to blaze forth with enlightenment and irreverence to the fore. Who knows where they’ll arrive, but be prepared to brace yourself and bear witness.
