** For Immediate Release**
‘six minutes and three seconds’,
the new single by Brisbane exploratory noise-rock trio FEET TEETH, is
just that - six minutes and three seconds of fuzzy commodore 64 synths,
wonky trumpet, brittle electronics, and caveman drumming. The
improvisational outfit is releasing two full lengths in July that come
from the same recording sessions, GOUT (independent) and BRUXUS on
Canberra label, hellosQuare. Recorded over two days, the records feature Erik Griswold [Clocked Out - Piano], Andrew Tuttle [MiniBrute Synthesizer], Luke McCallum [Ghost Notes - Trumpet], Kahl Monticone [Guitar] and Timothy Tate[Analogue
Electronics] and show two different sides to the ensemble. BRUXUS is a
more dissonant, anarchic release while GOUT has a more brutal, driving
quality.
FEET TEETH have previously collaborated with poets and contemporary dancers and performed on their own for Brisbane
Festival (2012), Brisbane Emerging Arts Festival (2013), the NOWnow
(2013) and the Queensland Poetry Festival (2013), released a full length
cassette on hellosQuare, various CDs and digital material
independently, presented a live soundtrack on FBi’s EarsHaveEars show
and had their music reworked by national and international experimental
musicians.
July 5th @ Make It Up Club, Bar Open VIC w/ Sean Baxter & Rafel Kaczmarek; Boyz XIX

Previous comments about FEET TEETH:
“One
of the strangest, most wonderful acts oozing out of the cracks of
Brisbane … Utilising drums, marimba, trumpet and electronics (including
their ever reliable C64 reimaginings), the band tap into a free-jazz
purgatory that is often presents a corporeal, cacophonous cocoon to slip
inside and melt away in. It isn’t restive, narcoleptic music however -
there is an errant restlessness to the instrumentation here, even in the
spaces between the chaos - but there is a world being created that
requires complete immersion, zero outside-world intrusions.” - Sonic
Masala [blog]
“It’s
one thing to employ a unique form of presentation, it’s another
entirely to expand that form into results sturdy enough to support a
full-length recording.
Aphthae
Epizooticae [previous FEET TEETH tape] manages this feat and then some
via a meager store of instruments including percussion, marimba,
Commodore 64, and trumpet” - Tinymixtapes website
“Kicking
the EP off with Hsinchu, Feet Teeth cram more interesting ideas into
four-and-a-half minutes than should theoretically be posible. Said ideas
don’t battle each other for attention, in fact they almost line up and
take turns.” Timeoff Magazine
