Easter Teeth – Being Alone With Your Thoughts Is For Inmates

a2152843437_2This album was a huge surprise for me. When I put the songs into iTunes, the style came up as “Soul & Hardcore.” Great, I thought – yet another silly kid somewhere messing with genre descriptions. But, weird as it sounds, that is about the best description I can think of. Easter Teeth is basically the rhythm section of a math rock band that decided to form a new band with just those two instruments, writing aggressive hardcore songs mixed with soul/funk that is centered on drums and bass guitar… and then throw some horns on the top for the heck of it. You have to hear it to believe it. The bass is so distorted and fuzzy that it really makes a good basis for the songs. The drumming is insane like you would expect from a math rock alumnus.  The horns really add icing on the whole package – apparently there are versions of the songs without the horns because the horn players can’t always play live with them. Experimental out-of-the-box music that actually rocks. If you are itching for something different, at least give these guys a listen at Bandcamp to see if they can catch that itch.
