"Could obliterate a roomful of slackers with its sheer power" - 9/10, LOUD & QUIET

The lovely folk at aQuarius recOrds in San Francisco have chosen Gum Takes Tooth's 'Silent Cenotaph' as their album of the week. Here's what they have to say about the record:

"Imagine a band that sounded like a bastard mix of UK-via-Texas, multiple drummered noise rockers Shit And Shine, grinding bass and drum duo Lightning Bolt and legendary weirdo drug rock combo Butthole Surfers..."

Greetings all,

The debut album from East London's very finest noise-rock duo GUM TAKES TOOTH is now in stores all about the UK. It's called *'Silent Cenotaph'* and we're very proud of it. You can purchase the release on both digipack CD and download formats. Press folks have been saying nice things, such as:

"A stunning, uncompromising and thoroughly compelling listen." - AU, 9/10

"A terrifying, monstrous amalgam of precision and abandon. Wonderful." - THE FLY, 4/5

"Calculated no-wave noise and frenetic drumming built purposefully from sparse driving beats into overpowering basslines" - CLASH

"Effortlessly combining noise freakouts, psyche and headbanging metal with head-bobbing beats... Electronic and forward looking." - WIRE

"A magnificent and gung-ho monument to the terrifying joys of making a childish racket." - NME, 7/10

"The album heralds the arrival of the sonic pioneers in truly inimitable style." - FLUX

We're giving away the first track from the album, 'Young Mustard', FREE from this place.

Bargainous. Also, we've finished building the last few Gum Takes Tooth 'TRI' lathes and they're in stock now.

Gum Takes Tooth are getting set to release their debut album 'Silent Cenotaph' on 6th June through Tigertrap Records, so we've set up a nice little 2-for-1 deal on all pre-orders through our shop.

Gum Takes Tooth, a thunderous rampage of noise tempered with an aptitude for precise rhythms and splintered melody, is a single-headed beast with two bodies: a duo of Thomas Fuglesang on live acoustic drums, physically wired into home grown electronic instruments and bare circuit boards, tweaked, molded and mangled in real-time by Jussi Brightmore.

The group decisively bring together their wildly varied influences of out-there noise, metal, primeval rhythms, spacious psyche, pan-ethnic oddities, primal punk, acid house and vintage electronics on their debut album, 'Silent Cenotaph'. Tracklisting here:

1. Young Mustard
2. Strychnine Motive
3. The Earth's Mantle Colonised
4. Nomad/Monad
5. Peace in Your Middle Yeast
6. Tannkjøtt
7. Rise From the Peat and Walk
8. Hermaphrodite and Nourishment

The dynamic duo also have some tourdates in the works. Here's where they'll be and when:

30th Apr – Servants Jazz Quarters, London, UK
3rd May – DNA, Brussels, BELGIUM
5th May – Alhambra, Oldenburg, GERMANY
6th May – Claws of Saurtopia Festival, Leipzig, GERMANY
7th May – Raum 20, Berlin, GERMANY
8th May – Temporary Arts Centre, Eindhoven, NL
10th May – Kinky Star, Gent, BELGIUM
11th May – Extrapool, Nijmegen, NL
14th May – The Great Escape Festival, Brighton, UK 21st May – TBC, Norwich, UK 19th-26th Aug – Supernormal Festival, Oxfordshire, UK

London's monster noise duo release their first Tigertrap single today. 'TRI' comes in the form of a clear, triangle-shaped 10" lathe vinyl, planted cosily within hand-built screen-printed reflective sleeves.

The vinyl contains the songs 'Strychnine Motive' and 'Rise From the Peat and Walk', and comes with a CDR with both included plus a bonus track, 'Laser Light Burial Mound'. On top of that, each copy comes with an unique download code that will allow you to download the album free upon its release.

There are only 40 copies in existence, so be quick if you want to get your hands on one. They're up for pre-order now in our online store and you can stream the songs on the Gum Takes Tooth profile page of our website. Their astounding debut album is also done and dusted and will be released on 2nd May ahead of a busy tour schedule. More news to follow.
