So here is the first review of Teeth of the Sea's up and coming third album MASTER:
TEETH OF THE SEA – MASTER (2013)
Beat-driven, electronic techno mayhem abounds on Teeth of The Sea’s third album, from the motoric drumming and gristly, throbbing basslines of “Reaper” to the tribal Burundi beats of “All Human Is Error” and the Giorgio Moroder-inspired “Black Strategy”.
TOTS are careful not to get swallowed up in meandering, boring electronic excursions, and continue to play to their strengths by grafting accessible melodies onto their krautrocky rhythms. In this regard, they will appeal to fans of New Order, Depeche Mode, Neu, and Throbbing Gristle.
The band get sidetracked a few times with superfluous spoken-word experiments, but, overall, the variety across these tracks will have you hypnotically entranced one minute and hopping on your pogo stick the next. Toss in a few economically placed guitar solos and mix liberally with creepy-crawly horror film soundtracks (“Pleiades Underground”), ambient spacey atmospherics (“Siren Spectre”), gloom ‘n’ doom death metal (“Inexorable Master”), and a little bit of all of the above (the epic “Responder”) and you’ve got an album that’ll please just about everyone, no matter what your sonic pleasure.

Having helped bring Goat to a wider world, Swedish psych types Hills are back with their own album Master Sleeps on Monday (16 September). Guitarist Pelle take on Q's 5Ws...
WHO would play you in the film of your life?
George Best
WHAT are you currently working on?
Dinner. And alternative ways of using my body/mind so that I do not ever have to show up at work again and still get my paycheck. Seems tricky though..
WHY do you do that thing you do?
Well I consider it my cosmic duty and I do not have to many other alternatives at my disposal at this moment to be honest.
WHERE do you see yourself in ten years?
Hopefully doing something that gives meaning to my life possibly with the help of an endless collection of fuzz pedals.
WHEN will there be a harvest for the world?
There already is full on harvesting all around us all of the time we just need to recognise it!

Mojo Magazine have premiered the new Teeth of the Sea track Black Strategy, which is taken off their forthcoming album MASTER.
This is what they say:
TRAILING THE STYGIAN DEPTHS of a brilliant new album entitled Master, the group’s third, British post-Kraut intruMentalists Teeth Of The Sea offer Black Strategy, one of the best, most involving electroprog fusion freakouts we’ve heard in an ever. Somehow Goblin and Renegade Soundwave seem to coexist in this place of excitement. Imagine that lot having a barney.
It’s been a busy few years for TOTS, lauded by MOJO for their 2010 album, Your Mercury (we know writer-guitarist Jimmy Martin from the HMV shop under MOJO’s former offices), and subsequently branching out into fascinating collaborative work with Wire and live soundtrack experiments including Reaper and Beyond The Transfinite, as dancier elements emerged more strongly in their work.
The album, says an unusually well-written press release, promises “nods to the established Teeth Of The Sea touchstones of Throbbing Gristle, Goblin, Heldon, Angelo Badalamenti and Slayer, recent work by the like of Byetone, Pete Swanson, Raime, Powell and Prurient, alongside a long-standing fixation on the disco stylings of Patrick Cowley and Giorgio Moroder… Abrasive and sparkling electronic textures do battle with waves of incandescent noise and a merciless beat-driven imperative to form a powerful alchemical charge”. Couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
