Search - Baby Teeth :: Simp

"Packs enough earthshaking riffs, goofball showboating, and anthemic bluster to fatten the entire fifth grade at the School of Rock." -- PITCHFORK "We've never played with a band that sounded so much like Queen, although they're not quite that batty." -- Eleanor Friedberger of The Fiery Furnaces in Pitchfork "Indie pop that sounds like the Silver Jews on seventies AM radio." -- HARP "A joyous mix of roller-derby-themed dance funk, MIDI-enhanced eighties pop, and twangy disco rock." -- PASTE "A welcome addition to Chicago's roster of rock bands ... combines soulful R&B with kisses of seventies jam rock--a different sound when compared to the band's peers in The Changes or The M's." -- NEW CITY CHICAGO Baby Teeth's new album, The Simp, proves yet again that bedroom pop and huge hooks belong together. The band has been compared to a host of legendary pop eccentrics: Elvis Costello, Andy Pratt, and Queen. But it's Baby Teeth's unique appropriation of classic rock icons that sets it apart from other indie-pop acts. The new album's lavish arrangements nod to the pop of the sixties and seventies, while lyrics are direct and emotionally bare. Meticulously crafted with outside producer Blue Hawaii (a member of Bablicon, Need New Body, and Icy Demons), The Simp counters every big pop chorus with a left-of-center twist. An album of remarkable refinement, The Simp will only take a few spins to carry you away ... or take you back, as the case may be.
