Sink Ya Teeth - 2: Vinyl LP

With ‘Two’ Sink Ya Teeth want to beckon in another Summer of Love. Where their

self-titled debut album, released in June 2018, channelled the carefree vibes of

New York’s Danceteria and Paradise Garage circa 1983, the follow-up continues in

this vein but delves deeper into their world.

A world where melancholia and deep house make perfect bedfellows. Of late 70s

post-punk and euphoric disco. Of rubbery staccato bass-lines and vocals that swing

between sweet menace and deadpan indifference.

Maria Uzor and Gemma Cullingford formed Sink Ya Teeth 3 years ago in a pub in the

flatlands of Norfolk, and write and record all their music in their living rooms. The

duo take themes of self medication (‘The Vaccine’), problematic neighbours (‘Stella’),

and unity in the face of current division (‘The Hot House’) and set them to a pumping

4/4 beat. It’s dark disco, sure, but it’s OK to dance in the dark.

The past year since the release of their debut has seen them unexpectedly headline

European festival Pohoda to a crowd of 30,000 after Lykke Li pulled out at the last

minute, embark on tours in the UK and France, and record sessions for KEXP in France

and BBC sessions at Maida Vale. The pair have garnered fans in Steve Lamacq & Amy

Lame (BBC 6 Music – their debut was Amy’s pick for ‘Album of the Year’ and they

recorded a session for Steve in July 2018), James Lavelle (UNKLE), A Certain Ratio

(who they have regularly played alongside) and their first album was reviewed

favourably by The Guardian, Pitchfork, Q, Electronic Sound and Loud & Quiet
