Teethe, the Texas based Southern slowcore band, is back with a new single. "Holy Water" is filled with a giant noise that is almost shoegaze but not quite. It maneuvers between loud and quiet expertly, with the more quiet parts going into a more pop category than you would expect. And then the wall of noise comes in, threatening to obliterate everything in its path. The only thing stopping it is Madeline Dowd's vocals, which keep a sense of pop going throughout the song. "Holy Water" cycles what could have been four separate songs during its three and a half minutes, but Teethe keep everything sounding like a cohesive song that flows together perfectly. Plus, the song features pedal steel from Xandy Chelmis of Wednesday and MJ Lenderman.
You can watch the video for "Holy Water" below. Magic of the Sale is due out August 8 on Winspear. For more on Teethe, check out the band on Instagram and Bandcamp. Upcoming tour dates are below the video and include a December 7 show at Brighton Music Hall in Allston.
