Your Mercury by Teeth Of The Sea
Like a giant android kestrel occupying an ominous telephasic cathedral, Your Mercury soars into a colossal beast of a record that stands imposingly above the rest of its field, striking maximum awe and fear into the weak, while it opens Teeth of the Sea’s account with greatness. This is the start of an odyssey built on crap lager, British sitcoms and noise rock that looks set to build menacingly in the future, and one that you would be daft to ignore. Play very loud.
BBC Music
TOTS are making some of the most exciting sounds since the Big Bang.
9/10 NME
Teeth of the Sea’s second record defies any worries about genre categorisation, a hermetically sealed unit with such a strong sense of self that comparisons to other music seem perverse.
8/10 Drowned In Sound

Since their formation in 2006, London-based Teeth Of The Sea have metamorphosized into the most adventurous psychedelic rock outfit in the UK. Taking on board influences like Morricone, Eno, Delia Derbyshire, Goblin, and the Butthole Surfers , they’ve arrived at an incendiary sound that marries the aural enlightenment of an avant-garde sensibility with the reckless abandon of the racket.
