Another one courtesy of its inclusion on an Indietracks Compilation, but this time around, we are a long way removed from the twee sounds that tended to dominate such releases.
Here’s the bio lifted from the website:-
Sink Ya Teeth are an English Post-Punk Dance Infused duo formed in 2015.
The band features Maria Uzor and Gemma Cullingford who write, record and produce all of their music themselves from their Norwich homes. Uzor and Cullingford fuse 80’s and 90’s inspired rare groove and Electronic Dance Music with post-punk bass lines and ferocious vocals, with subject matters focusing on the human experience that everyone can relate to.
Their self-titled debut album, released June 2018 on Hey Buffalo, won 6 Music’s ‘Album of the Day’, and was championed by Steve Lamacq and BBC Introducing, who invited them to Maida Vale to record a session.
It also received a lot of press attention and positives reviews from the likes of Pitchfork, The Guardian, The Observer, Electronic Sound, Q Magazine, Mojo, Loud and Quiet and Louder than War.
The info could be doing with a bit of updating, given that there has since been a follow-up album, Two, released in 2020, which I’m guessing was while we were all in lockdown and that’s why the promotional tour didn’t take place until September-November 2021, taking in dates in Ipswich, Birmingham, Bristol, Norwich, Chester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Hebden Bridge, Leeds, Brighton and London. Things seem to have been quiet since then, although it does seem as if both Maria and Gemma have been busy with solo projects.
Enough of the wittering, here’s the tune.
mp3: Sink Ya Teeth – Pushin’
It was included on the Indietracks Compilation 2018, and can also be found on the Sink Ya Teeth debut album. Indeed, it was released as a single with a promo being made.
As I said, not quite what you’d expect from an Indietracks digital offering, but I’ve a feeling that when they played the festival, everyone got off their backsides and danced.
