Teeth & Tongue

"Catchy guitar riffs, pervasive drums, and echoey vocals, it’s a little Le Tigre, a little B-52s (with a dash of Go-Gos) but, more importantly, it’s a whole lot of fun." - Entertainment Weekly US "A new artist you need to know" - Rolling Stone USA "Like Radiohead, under-rate Teeth & Tongue albums at your peril." - Herald Sun, ★★★★ "Glacial keys and cracking drums that rise from echoing blank space like the best '80s synth-pop." - The Age, ★★★★ Teeth & Tongue is the music project of New Zealand born, Melbourne-based musician Jess Cornelius, who weaves metronomic percussion, layered vocal samples and bent-out-of-shape guitar lines through her songs of yearning and simmering discontent. Formed in 2009, Teeth & Tongue continues to alternate between solo and band formats. Her third album ‘Grids’, released in March 2014 by Dot Dash/Remote Control, earned an AMP Award nomination and four The Age/Music Victoria nominations and led to spots on Meredith Music Festival, Boogie and three consecutive national tours in 2014. The album was the catalyst for the most exciting Teeth & Tongue line up yet. Featuring long-term collaborators Marc Regueiro-McKelvie and Damian Sullivan, as well as drummer James Harvey and new keyboardist and backing vocalist Cheyenne Harper, the five piece use their time on stage to beat the bejesus out of songs from Teeth & Tongue’s past three albums, using sampled and live drums and disconcerting walls of layered vocals. Teeth & Tongue has performed at SXSW and CMJ, appeared on Rockwiz twice, played the Falls and Laneway festivals, toured the USA and Europe, toured Australia with Vance Joy and Courtney Barnett, performed at MONA and the NGV, and once spent four weeks making an EP in public at the National Gallery of Victoria. ‘Grids’ was named 3RRR Album of The Week, RTR Feature Album, Double J Album of the Week, Beat Album of the Week, Radio Adelaide Album of the Week, and received four stars reviews from The Music, The West Australian, Herald Sun HIT and The Sydney Morning Herald. Teeth & Tongue’s previous albums, 2011’s ‘Tambourine’ and 2008’s ‘Monobasic’ earned both earned critical acclaim and frequent airplay across community radio, ABC and Triple J, for which Teeth & Tongue was chosen as a Triple J Next Crop artist in 2009. She has also supported J Mascis, Sons & Daughters, EMA, Juana Molina, The Dodos, The Mountain Goats, the Drones and Laura Marling.
