BOMBAY // Show Your Teeth

Dutch indie rock trio Bombay return with long-awaited sophomore LP Show Your Teeth. 

The album’s title couldn't be a more fitting description of Bombay's next musical chapter. After two years of restless experimenting with lo-fi equipment and nineties rock influences, the group experienced a sense of disharmony, and a musical transformation had to take place. As a result Linda van Leeuwen has passed the torch to Lisa Ann Jonker.
Multi-instrumentalist Mathias Janmaat remains the group's driving creative force. Naturally, his writing became influenced by these circumstances: Show Your Teeth feels more introspective than acclaimed predecessor Vulture / Provider, adding an expanding sonic palette and emotional depth to their sound.  
Bittersweet opener Dolly Doesn't Want To Face The Facts shimmers like some kind of hazy dystopian sunset, recalling fellow pop dissidents MGMT, Phoenix and Gorillaz. Centre-piece Slow Motion unleashes lust for life energy through its rave-like floor tom beats and jarring post-punk guitars. The ramshackle nineties grunge track Bored obtusely touches base with writer's block and apathy.  

Even if there appears to be more of a weightiness to Bombay's music, it never meddles with the band's ability to come up with instantly appealing pop hooks. Gold Rush's suspenseful gloom and Bleach's uncanny space boogie still bring this undeniable immediacy. Bombay's newfangled songwriting smarts reach their peak with double-dealing closer Lighten The Low. Languid, detached guitar lines and devil-may-care vocals become frenetically at odds with the simmering, majestic chorus.  
Following the release of their eclectic garage pop debut, their explosive live shows gained notoriety across the globe, captivating audiences in small clubs and larger venues alike. The band's wanderlust has been rewarded with slots at Best Kept Secret (Netherlands), Dour (Belgium), Reeperbahn (Germany), La Vieilles Charrues (France), SXSW (US), and The Great Escape (UK).

Rejuvenated and ready to show their teeth, Bombay have become a more dynamic stage spectacle than ever before.

Though they list Death Cab For Cutie, Radiohead, The Lemonheads and The Cure among the groups that have influenced them, Firetop Mountain are true originals. Their sound is an infectiously melodic combination of resonant guitars, frenetic percussion and arresting harmonies, punctuated by lyrics that are at once dreamy and emotionally haunting. Romanticized surrealism that you can dance to.

The group originated in 2006, when vocalist/guitarist Michael Stensen Sollien and drummer Ola Helland-Pedersen, members of Oslo act Featherstone, parted ways with their band mates and recruited Michael’s younger brother Kim Stensen Sollien as lead guitarist. Since then the band has changed shape several times, existing for a short time as a 4-piece rock band after the release of their first album. Finally, in 2014 with the departure of the original drummer, the band settled as a group of five led by the Sollien brothers.

Firetop Mountain played their first live show in June, 2007, to a crowd of about 100 hard rock fans. The band’s significantly more mellow set was enthusiastically received, and the positive buzz was instantaneous. A common reaction among audience members was “this is not pop; this is rock and roll,” which is often repeated by fans as the melodic songs on the records make way for an energetic live show that blends the various members’ differing musical inspirations.

The band released a full-length album in 2009, “Indians Aren’t Afraid of Heights” where they enlisted the help of producer Ørnulv Brun Snortheim and distribution company Indie Distributions to create an impressive debut offering, showing that Firetop Mountain are definitely talented and prolific enough to stand alongside their finest contemporaries in today’s alternative scene. Later releases, “All the Best Ideas EP” in 2013 and the single “Complications” in 2014, were self-recorded and distributed by the band’s own label Mother Likes It Records. Both releases were warmly received by various indie playlists and has helped the band build a steady fanbase.

In 2015 the band will release its long-awaited second LP entitled The Quijote Predicament.
