Float is the new single from Oxford’s My Crooked Teeth, the musical project lead by singer songwriter Jack Olchawski.

Float is a bittersweet lament for the trap of the working week with Jack effortlessly evoking the melancholy beauty of the every-day in a decidedly British manner, calling to mind his heroes of song-writing such as Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello. Other musical touchstones include artists from across the pond such as Andy Shauf and Bright Eyes.

Since starting out on the open mic circuit in Oxford in 2014 My Crooked Teeth has gradually grown a legion of fans and supporters in Oxford and far beyond. With early support from local musical institutions BBC Oxford Introducing and Nightshift Magazine Jack has since expanded the line up to include a full band compliment of Oxford musical talents.

My Crooked Teeth has appeared at prestigious festivals such as Boomtown and Truck Festival in the UK and Tartu Indiefest in Estonia and has shared stages with artists such as Evan Dando of The Lemonheads, Lanterns on the Lake, Lucy Spraggan, Ciaran Lavery and My Darling Clementine. In 2020 My Crooked Teeth contributed to a Weakerthans Tribute album, which also included contributions from Frank Turner, Austin Lucas and Lowest of the Low.

Float features instrumental contributions from Jack’s rotating cast of international collaborators and was produced in Oxford by Jack with engineer Rob Taylor.

Float

The latest single from Oxford songwriter My Crooked Teeth is a toe-tapping country waltz ready for the Texan honky-tonks. A homage to the country singers of old, 'You're Gunna Break My Heart' is charming and resolute in signature My Crooked teeth style, with enough twang to fill a barn.

Equal measures country, indie and pure pop, My Crooked Teeth's is a sound that is familiar as it is uncertain, with captivating lyrics and melodies you won't be able to shift.

Focussing on a concise americana sound, My Crooked Teeth specialise in the bittersweet, as songwriter Jack Olchawski attempts to tap into the melancholy beauty of the every day.

In 2014 debut EP 'Watch The Darkness Stumble Home' was released via Bear on a Bicycle Records. An intimate exploration of songwriting in its purest form; with single imperfect takes recorded with one microphone alone in a room.

Since then, a string of singles has followed, and with it a broader aesthetic as new influences find their place in the ever-changing My Crooked Teeth sound. No track demonstrates this more than new single Float, with its harshly double-tracked vocals and pulsing synth layered onto a timeless alt.country song.
