From a long-overlooked pocket of Texas’ musical wealth, Teethe re-emerges with a deeply layered and collaborative work that makes the weight of the world feel a little lighter to lug. On their new full-length album, Magic Of The Sale, Teethe unveils their sad and beautiful self-built world of Southern slowcore, where the band’s four distinct songwriters, singers, and artists ask a series of interlocked questions about what it means to build a life in a time of shared collapse.
It’s an expansive next step for the band, whose 2020 self-titled debut morphed from a few early cassette runs into several sold-out vinyl editions, unlikely name-drops from mega-stars, and several tours across the United States and Europe. On Magic Of The Sale, they’ve boosted their gear and home studios and dug into the craft of composition and production but still took special care to preserve the part of the process that made their debut so special.
