Title:  I won t do anything I can do Artist:  Starting Teeth Label:  Creaked Records Format:  CD Price:  € 12.50   Mp3 samples: none

Title Description:
Hour-long debut full-length by electronic duo Starting Teeth (France-based Childe Grangier (aka Hopen) and Vancouverite Nathan Jonson (aka Hrdvsion)) that comes across like a demented cross between DAT Politics and Sutekh. I Won t Do Anything I Can Do sometimes suggests that Starting Teeth is still trying to figure out which direction to take: some tracks are heavily abstracted and experimental (the darkly atmospheric sound sculpting of Concerning the Bombs and Burn the Roof Tropical, a chopped-up and dizzying plodder) while others could pass for wacky club fare (the swizzling electro-disco of xxDONE). Cobblestone Jazz's Danuel Tate hitches a ride for the twisted electro-techno of Tongue Journey which inexplicably shifts gears in its second half by spilling vocoders over the Hawaii Five-O theme. Mexican newcomer Pinto guests on Porcelain Shuffle, which stumbles like a drunken giraffe until handclaps right the woozy animal, while the whistling stomper Empty twirls like an out-of-control carousel. Beats are often derailed by interference and tackled in mid-stride, a trick that pushed too far proves annoying when Our Old Teen is constantly ambushed whenever it struggles to gain its footing and regain momentum. The sputtering, stuttering club-funk banger Ankles, on the other hand, strikes the perfect balance between danceability and experimentalism. Creacked Records might be more like it. Textura
