Bug Teeth

About

Bug Teeth started out as a bedroom electronic project, with frontperson PJ Johnson producing everything alone, lo fi and delicate. Over time it grew into a full band, and the live show swings between heavy distortion and near silence. On stage, the group wear green insect hats that poke up above everyone's heads. The sound pulls from dreampop, electronic ambient and breakbeat. Raw guitars and jittery drums and bass cut through hazy, ambient soundscapes, while the lyrics stay direct and poetic, with each song feeling like a slide under a microscope. It's music that tries to be weightless and rooted at once, balancing beauty with something that scrapes. Landscaping is one of their singles, and the band have picked up support from radio and music editors along with a growing cult following.
