In a number of ways, Technicolor Teeth has achieved singularity. Their name, their soon-to-be-released cassette title, their artwork, their sound—these all work in tandem to bring the Wisconsin band to a higher plane of communication and categorization. Their latest, Can You Keep Me Out of Hell, is a work of goth-pop geinus, sunny and dark like winter light just as dusk hits. The noise is cut through with high-powered melodic notes that aren't unlike pop-punk songs, but if they were sung with teeth gritted and mind faltering. The gauze and density of it is staggering.
This tape is only available from the band on their upcoming tour, details for which are below, and is put onto plastic by Accidental Guest Recordings. Stream the full thing below, thanks to Gimme Tinnitus.
