About Milktooth
After spending much of the band's short history touring the US (with stops in L.A., Seattle, Austin, Portland & Chicago), lending their music to TV & quickly earning a reputation for their haunting arrangements & blistering live performances, Milktooth returned home to Nashville, TN to record their sophomore EP, Wild Before Our Eyes. The young indie rock band recently garnered worldwide attention for their web series "Stay Home America" when Beck shared their music video for a song from his latest release, "Song Reader," with his Facebook/Twitter following of over one million fans. This praise helped the video grab 8,000+ views, along with 300+ retweets/shares, within days of its release. Milktooth's sound has been hailed as "mesmerizing" by NPR, "vast & unexpected" by New York Minute Magazine & "infectious" by The Dallas Observer & has drawn comparisons to such critical darlings as The Walkmen, The National & Wild Beasts. Wild Before Our Eyes, their 2009 debut Milktooth EP and Halloween in Santa Ana (7-inch vinyl) were produced by Tom Laune (R.E.M., Alex Chilton) & mastered in Montreal, QC by Harris Newman (Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade). Several Milktooth songs, including Your Arrows, have been featured on television programs such as Keeping Up with the Kardashians (E! Network) and The Real World (MTV). The band has also released a CD/DVD of live unplugged arrangements called Acoustic Sessions which features an autoharp cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean (Acoustic). For more, visit www.milktoothmusic.com Press for Milktooth: "One of the more mesmerizing CDs I've heard in recent months. Milktooth's self-titled debut dabbles in a bit of everything, from noise-rock to glittering indie-pop and gentle folk. If a single theme ties the songs together, it's a surreal kind of creaky Americana, with spare acoustic instruments and sometimes haunting atmospherics, led by the howling voice of frontman David Condos." -Robin Hilton, NPR's All Songs Considered "Milktooth's debut album is a dynamic inaugural effort...a candid record with wide accessibility and appeal. Sonorous guitar tone, percussive whacks, and memorable songwriting combine to make this Nashville band one to keep your finger on." -The Deli Magazine "Raucously haunting...and on par with early KOL and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Their songs are bathed in reverb and filled with glorious moments of tension/release that find [vocalist David] Condos humming quietly one moment and screaming at the top of his lungs the next." -Listen Nashville For more infomation, visit http://milktoothmusic.com.
