Teeth Agency is the project of London-based multi-instrumentalist, producer and member of Gorillaz live band Jesse Hackett and Chicago-based multimedia artist Mariano Chavez. According to the press release, After Jesse bought a vintage ‘dental phantom’ from Mariano’s Agent Gallery in Chicago, the pair began a stimulating exchange of creative ideas, inspired by unconventional music, macabre art and striking artefacts. This became the beginning of a new venture, combining music, art and film.
Teeth Agency are united by their morbid curiosities, as well as their interest in a range of rare musical styles from casio organ violin laments, to lizard lounge jazz, stoner doom psych, and absurdist soul horrorrama.
They have announced the release of the debut album called You Don’t Have To Live In Pain which will be out on March 12th via Stones Throw Records. We already shared “Anon“, “Fazer Folk” and “Many People” are two new excerpts. Listen below.
