Distortion tears down defences in teeth mark’s post-rock punch beyond pastiche, ‘Tin Soldiers’

Until the first cataclysmic crash of discord in teeth marks’ latest single, Tin Soldiers, each choral guitar note seems to swell inside your bloodstream as the melodies pirouette through diaphanously melancholic accord, leaving you wondering whether teeth marks can vocally match the euphony. That question is swiftly answered. With unflinching synergy between every element of this progressively arrestive release, submitting to the sheer force of the evocative momentum becomes an irresistible act. The vulnerable tension they build through their distinctive use of spatial effects, paired with their instinct for using distortion to tear down your defences and leave you bare before the unfeigned outpours of visceralism, ensures Tin Soldiers hits post-rock fans right where it hurts. It’s a track that doesn’t hold back from exposing the rawest parts of human emotion, delivered with a weight that never feels forced. Formed in Columbus, Ohio, from the ashes of a band that refused to truly end, teeth marks feature members of indie alt-rockers Yellow Paper Planes and channel a moodier, heavier, more dynamic sound. Recently signed to Better Days Will Haunt You Records, they’ve been barreling toward their debut release with an intensely tight live show that thrives on heavy/soft, loud/quiet dynamics.
