Obligatory "Man, what is up with Baltimore?" comment here. Teeth Mountain call the Greatest City in America home and, like many musicians there, they take existing musical forms and bend them a bit to fit an idiosyncratic vision. The four tracks available for download on their MySpace are driven primarily by neo-tribal drums, which would seemingly put them in league with the rumbling sound of Bmore's Thank You. But "13 Plus Harsh Tanz" in particular is much more reflective. The guitar for me brings to mind the cracked post-1960s dream-psyche hangover of Pink Floyd, I'm thinking here of an instrumental interlude that might have been on Obscured by Clouds, or perhaps the contemporaneous Eastern-infused lines of Popul Vuh's Daniel Fichelscher. It's headspace music, to be sure, but in some places people dance to this sort of thing.
