Before there was Teethe, there were other acts and assorted solo projects, all outlets for the four people who would eventually become a single band to write and record songs of their own. In Denton, Texas, a little more than a half-decade ago, the music scene gradually did what any good one should do: connected people with shared interests and sensibilities and encouraged them in turn to push, collectively, a bit further. For Teethe, the dual nexuses were house shows and a mutual enthusiasm for home recording. Four songwriters began to share once-siloed works, rounding out one another’s drafts until they’d steadily but casually built a record—Teethe’s 2020 self-titled debut, a loose and warm 12-track collage of exquisite existential blues and twilit harmonies. Their expectations were modest, but a few early cassette runs slowly led to several sold-out vinyl editions, unlikely name-drops from mega-stars, and several tours across the United States and Europe. Born of living-room jams and DIY spaces, Teethe seemed to stumble toward success on a path they proudly made themselves.
Magic Of The Sale represents Teethe’s natural next step: a second album, a record label, a slew of guests 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, eliding an outside producer or any single strategy to instead let its four songwriters write and record by themselves in upgraded home studios before letting a cadre of collaborators add their own ideas. It is an end-around for industry expectations, from a band that never had any expectation of them.
