Teethe - Magic of the Sale Vinyl Record

Teethe re-emerges with Magic Of The Sale, a soft but steely full-length album where the Texas 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.

The result is a sad and beautiful self-built world of Southern slowcore, where four people turn toward one another and drift forward, together. Magic Of The Sale follows Teethe's 2020 self-titled debut, a loose and warm 12-track collage of exquisite existential blues and twilit harmonies from which few early cassette runs turned into several sold-out vinyl editions, unlikely name-drops from mega-stars, and several tours across the United States and Europe.

Magic Of The Sale represents Teethe's natural next step: a second album, a record label, a slew of guest collaborators (Xandy Chelmis of Wednesday and MJ Lenderman, Charlie Martin of Hovvdy and several other veteran musicians) who represent their Texas roots and new friends they've made in recent years. Still, Teethe took special care to preserve the part of the process that made their debut so special, now with expanded toolkits.

On Magic Of The Sale, they've boosted their gear and home studios and dug into the craft of composition and production. Eliding an outsider producer or engineer, the band's Boone Patrello spent four arduous months mixing the record-taking the patchwork of tracks from each member and their collaborators and funneling several visions into one complete picture.

From a long-overlooked pocket of Texas' musical wealth, Teethe returns with a deeply layered and collaborative work that makes the weight of the world feel a little lighter to lug.
