Album Review: Teeth Marks, Raise/Wreck/Rebuild/Raze

 

By Christian Cole, OOTB Publications

Columbus, Ohio’s very own Teeth Marks have released their debut LP—Raise/Wreck/Rebuild/Raze (Better Days Will Haunt You Recirds)—and it’s packed full of incredible sonic endeavors. 


What kicks off as something spacious and beautiful soon jumps into fuzzed out angst, reminiscent of bands like Superheaven. 


The vocal deliveries are haunting, the sonic landscape is melancholic and droning. With off-kilter guitar and an atmospheric rhythm section, Teeth Marks brings something incredibly unique and genuine to the table with their debut record. 


While maintaining that incredible air of melancholy and the droning of fuzz, they show no fear of a more melodic side with tracks like “Wendigo On Skates.”


There is almost a slow and daunting psychedelia on tracks like “Nothing Lasts,” somehow blending the drudging darkness of grunge with a smoked-out fuzz. 


Teeth Marks manages to make great use of the silence between the notes, letting anticipation build and emotion grow while doing an almost “less is more” approach. 


It’s always exciting coming across a band on its infancy in terms of releases, wondering what comes next. I have good faith that Teeth Marks are bound for even bigger things, and greatly anticipate whatever comes next. 


Get yourself a copy of Raise/Wreck/Rebuild/Raze as soon as you can and support the up-and-coming gems of your local music scene.
