They say:
I think that it is fair to say that Teeth of the Sea (TOTS) are one of my ‘goto’ groups, and if you look at a list of such bands they all have one thing in common: constant evolution and innovation. I am fairly restless when it comes to my musical taste… I do not stay still… I am always looking for the next thing to excite me… the status quo is not an option.
It is this restlessness that meant that the imminent arrival of a new TOTS album is one of my most anticipated musical events of 2019. This was heralded at one of my musical highlights of 2018, when TOTS performed a blistering performance at the event celebrating 20 years of Rocket Recordings back in March. It was a set, as far as I remember, of new music… music which has informed this album.
So it’s been almost a year now and the question is, has all that suspense been worth it? Have TOTS produced yet another different but TOTS-like album? Read on to find out.
Before that though I am going to briefly go back to the band’s previous release, ‘Highly Deadly Black Tarantula‘, which was stark and unyielding, yet with a fragile undercurrent which gave it depth and meaning. It was a massive brutalist concrete edifice which was, on occasion, afforded some very delicately carved stone-work...

To celebrate the start of a new year we are giving away a brand new remix by AE Hutch and the Bad Producer of MIEN's track Echolalia. Listen or download for FREE above.
The original of Echolalia can be found on MIEN's stunning debut S/T album which can be bought from here: Bandcamp
About the remixers:
AE Hutch and The Bad Producer met in a dead end London job and bonded over a mutual fascination with B-stock dub, cosmic popcorn disco and acid house. For the next decade the pair have collaborated on each other’s projects but never fully committed to a record written together. Their first album 'Tick Tock...' will arrive early in 2019 – it is a wonky concoction of post punk disco acid emerging from the circuits of Loudest Warning modular synths and AE hutch’s hypnotic song writing.
AE Hutch is and has been:
Cyclones, Muscleheads, Knives Ov Resistance, First Sight Of Land
The Bad Producer is and has been:
Loudest Warning, Solina Hi-Fi, Ranking Fablon, Drette and Zombienator.
