'Now I am trapped in the way
Of all my mistakes
I've been under for way too long
I'll sit in my shame
My hearts starts to race
The poison lingers in my veins
I'm broken, suffocating'

TEETH OF THE SEA
HIGHLY DEADLY BLACK TARANTULA

In the last decade, the iconoclastic four-pronged force of Teeth Of The Sea has traversed from its origins in North London pub gigs and basement rehearsal rooms to far-flung locales that its members could scarcely have considered possible when they first began. Yet this band has never lost sight of its original vision - to reconcile a fearless experimental drive with a primal lust for noise. To exist outside of all or any compromise. Yet never to lose sight of the crucial irreverence of their inception. Their fourth album ‘Highly Deadly Black Tarantula’, in all its malevolent glory, may well be the apex of their mission thus far. 

Following in the wake of the release of their mind-melting third album ‘MASTER’’. 2014 was a bizarre and thrilling year for Teeth Of The Sea, taking them to unexpected territory both physical and metaphysical - a re-imagining of the modern-day midnight movie A Field In England saw performances at both Cork Film Festival and Hackney Picture House, and was released on Rocket Recordings on a limited run for Record Store Day. A new audio-visual piece The Last Man was performed at both Cineglobe Festival in Cern, home of the Large Hadron Particle Collider, and at Transilvania International Film Festival in Cluj-Napoca. What’s more, the band travelled to America for the first time to perform in Austin, Texas for SXSW and to Portugal for Milhoes De Festa, as well as finishing the year off with a comprehensive demolition job of Liverpool Psych Fest.

However, as 2015 dawned, the band set about reinventing themselves once again - both returning from the ornate and expansive sounds of ‘MASTER’ to their gnarled roots and pushing firmly forward in search of adventure anew.  What resulted was ‘Highly Deadly Black Tarantula’, their most focused and aggressive album yet. Machine-driven yet melodically abundant, the widescreen industrial expanses of this album combine the influence of long-time band favourites like Aphex Twin, Angelo Badalamenti and Throbbing Gristle with new inspiration that spans from Chicago footwork to black metal. 

What’s more, it’s a collection as rich in scope as it is powerful in intent. Whilst the pummelling and incisive ‘Animal Manservant’ and the kinetic dancefloor attack of ‘Field Punishment’ maintain an audial assault both concise and corrosive, the monomaniacal ‘Have You Ever Held A Bird Of Prey’  represents a fearless plunge into the experimental deep end. Elsewhere, the bleak cinematic drama of ‘All My Venom’ strikes like hammer to anvil, and ‘Love Theme For 1984’  may be the most richly emotive work the band have yet created. 

This is no less than a vital reinvention, abusing technology and warping convention to arrive at a monochrome psychedelia as stylish as it is savage. Yet even whilst ushering in delight and deliverance for both fans of this band and the uninitiated, ‘HIghly Deadly Black Tarantula’- a fearsomely coherent assault of post-everything dementia - sounds like no-one but Teeth Of The Sea.

Pre-order the album 'Aforger' out October 14th on LP/CD/DL here: http://phonofile.link/aforger

In a digital age where memories are mimicked by pixels and identity is as malleable as static, Douglas Dare’s new album Aforger questions the boundaries between reality and fiction. 

Inspired by recent events and revelations encountered in his life these songs depict Dare at his most vulnerable, whilst simultaneously reflecting our own obsession with reality and technology back at us.  

Aforger was mixed at the iconic Abbey Road Studios and produced by long-time collaborator Fabian Prynn. In the following conversation Douglas strips back the personal journeys and realisations which preceded its recording.

In a conversation with Douglas Dare on July 11th 2016:

The album title plays with the idea of a forger – someone creating imitations or copies, and reimagines them as the creator of something that’s no longer real. Prior to writing the record, I came out to my father and came out of a long relationship, both were hugely challenging for me and questioned my idea of identity and reality. These thoughts leaked out into the record and formed the core of Aforger. I was determined not to write a break-up album or repeat what I’d done before..

I grew up on quite an isolated farm in Dorset, surrounded by fields and not much besides. My mother taught piano from home and we didn’t have a computer, or the internet or mobile phones. In fact, my family still chooses not to use these things. It’s worlds apart from my life now in London where technology seems to dominate everything I do.

After finding out my boyfriend had been leading this double-life, I became obsessed with the question of what is real and George Orwell’s 1984 felt appropriate for me to re-read. Orwell explains this idea of reality control and Doublethink, and it struck a chord with me. The idea that truth can be steered or changed, and we might be able to believe two contradictory things at once. In my case, ignorance was my protection from the truth and ignorance really is bliss, until you’re no longer ignorant.

Binary talks about the idea that technology is allowing us to live on after we’re gone. A relative of mine whose parent passed away kept a picture of them on their phone as a background image. A friend saw this and asked ‘how can you have that there to constantly remind you of your loss?’ They replied, ‘no I have to, it shows me that they’re still here’. This resonated with me and I thought ‘okay, this is just an image to me but to them it’s more than a reminder or a reassurance, it’s a reality’. At the same time, I was finding myself haunted by the digital reminder of my ex-partner and wishing they would disappear. I had to realise that it’s all just pixels on a screen. 

I think New York can be thought of as this fabricated, magical place. I was there with my boyfriend after touring the U.S., but when I came back to London I discovered all these lies and began questioning everything. I even questioned whether New York actually happened or not. New York is a song that’s literally describing that very real feeling of not knowing who or what to believe any more – scary and magical at the same time. 

Lyrically I wanted to be as honest as possible. The album deals with so much dishonesty, so I felt the lyrics had to be the counterbalance. I was inspired by Björk’s album Vulnicura and how everything is almost awkward in its honesty. Like my first album, Aforger started as poetry, but I consciously tried to be less poetic. For instance, Oh Father is an example of complete unambiguity. It’s certainly the most personal song I’ve put out there, and the realisation that people may hear it makes me feel very vulnerable. That’s the most real feeling of all for me right now.

Hello here is a new song with the lyrics from Demelia Denton. Oddvar plays the guitar, well dont need to say it but the spirit of Carlos Santana is captured here
Composition and production: Torbjørn Vagle
guitar: Oddvar Solheim
Lyrics Demelia Denton
Copyright 2016
~ LOVE LIFE ~

In the midst of emotion
Developed despair
Fog of the morning
And thoughts not quite clear
Tears non acceptance
Drip with the pain
Deep with the meaning
But hope still is gained
Bring forth the loving
The love in our veins
Pumping heart pressure
Continuing strain
Fortunate living
Passionately declare
Touched by the feelings
Of life's love hold dear
Reach out in earnest
To cradle the heart
Blood running through 
Injected to spark
Wrapped in the casing
The warmth of life near
Protected from damage
All hurt and your fears
Blessed with the journey
Life's pathway unknown
Past present future
Still plenty unknown
Hold tight the passion
Life's love to complete
Walk down the pathway
The future to meet

Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Brooklyn-based drummer Ryan Sawyer along with UK-based members of Thurston Moore Group: bass player Deb Googe (also of My Bloody Valentine) and guitarist James Sedwards (also of Nøught) met up in the studio to record these songs offered here to support the campaign to FREE CHELSEA MANNING.

A Mess

The chanteuse Vōx sings it best.
"I'm drowning, but I'm doing well.
Work in heaven, vacation in hell.
Talk your way out of this.
Sink in the pavement.
You've got a lot of ways to make me scream and I don't mind it.
My fears are fearless."

Labyrinths is released October 28th on Magical Properties and limited tape on Dome of Doom.

a sort of imitation of colin stetson saxophone playing, actually just another try to sequence a res-4 feedback patch going into mmf-6. sequenced from er-101 with cv going into the er-102 for volume, filter symmetry and resonance. pressure points and planar helped to get a lively feeling although it is quite a simple repetative sequence.

At the end of the street sat an empty house. She did not live there anymore, she had left long ago yet he could still see her door. Her presence hung ominously around this place as if she were some distant ghost amidst the hollow walls. The wind blew a cold breeze through the wickedness of the midnight hour as he walked steadily closer. There was not a sound to be heard amidst the darkness except for the pitter patter of his delicate feet. He sighed...

TABLEAU III

L’arrière saison
Du huis-clos des supplices
Façonne les désirs
Et les risques

La tentation de gagner
Le sourire d’une alliée
Est grande
Très vite elle obtient
La permission de parler

Mais à présent
Elle a le cœur
À la torture

Leur complicité
Et leurs jeux d’esprit
Ont favorisé
L’Amour et l’inertie

Mon amie
Mon triste mystère
Votre charme
Fait mon désespoir

Un rêve en cours d'exécution
Ne peut être comparé
Avec un lointain souvenir

Je suis contraire au tonnerre
Je suis si peu de bruit

J’observe, dans l'obscurité
Certaines ombres du passé

Les flammes adultères
Les reliques en poussière

Je me sens l'âme à problèmes
Soupçonnée d'infidélité

J’en pince pour un autre
Mort il y a deux mille ans

Je dois en prendre soin
Pour devenir une grande Sainte
En cachette

Je suis contraire au tonnerre
Je suis si peu de bruit

Mon amie
Mon triste mystère

J’ai le cœur à la torture
J’ai du cœur et la dent dure
