Teethe re-emerges with Magic Of The Sale, a soft but steely

full-length album where the Texas band's four distinct

songwriters, singers, and artists ask a series of interlocked

questions about what it means to build a life in a time of shared

collapse. The result is a sad and beautiful self-built world of

Southern slowcore, where four people turn toward one another

and drift forward, together. Magic Of The Sale follows Teethe's

2020 self-titled debut, a loose and warm 12-track collage of

exquisite existential blues and twilit harmonies from which few

early cassette runs turned into several sold-out vinyl editions,

unlikely name-drops from mega-stars, and several tours across

the United States and Europe. Magic Of The Sale represents

Teethe's natural next step: a second album, a record label, a

slew of guest collaborators (Xandy Chelmis of Wednesday

and MJ Lenderman, Charlie Martin of Hovvdy and several

other veteran musicians) who represent their Texas roots and

new friends they've made in recent years. Still, Teethe took

special care to preserve the part of the process that made

their debut so special, now with expanded toolkits. On Magic

Of The Sale, they've boosted their gear and home studios and

dug into the craft of composition and production. Eliding an

outsider producer or engineer, the band's Boone Patrello spent

four arduous months mixing the record-taking the patchwork

of tracks from each member and their collaborators and

funneling several visions into one complete picture. From a

long-overlooked pocket of Texas' musical wealth, Teethe

returns with a deeply layered and collaborative work that

makes the weight of the world feel a little lighter to lug.
