Southern slowcore band Teethe has announced their new album, Magic Of The Sale (Winspear), out  August 8th. On the album, Teethe unveil their sad and beautiful world, where the Texas band’s four distinct songwriters, singers, and artists ask a series of interlocked questions about what it means to build a life in a time of shared collapse. Magic Of The Sale is a soft but steely record about the worst quandaries we can encounter, from being trapped by an existence we didn’t entirely create to the hell that other people can be.

It’s an expansive next step for the band, one that folds new collaborators into the mix—Xandy Chelmis of Wednesday and MJ Lenderman, Charlie Martin of Hovvdy, Logan Hornyak of Melaina Kol and several other veteran musicians. Still, Teethe took special care to preserve the part of the process that made their debut so special, now with expanded toolkits. On Magic Of The Sale, they’ve boosted their gear and home studios and dug into the craft of composition and production. Eliding an outsider producer or engineer, the band’s Boone Patrello spent four arduous months mixing the record–taking the patchwork of tracks from each member and their collaborators and funneling several visions into one complete picture. From a long-overlooked pocket of Texas’ musical wealth, Teethe returns with a deeply layered and collaborative work that makes the weight of the world feel a little lighter to lug.

Magic Of The Sale, available for pre-order now, is sad-eyed and gorgeous, its songs as beautiful and troubled as the sky of the Texas desert at sunset while a storm creeps across the horizon, as exemplified by the album’s title track and lead single “Magic Of The Sale,” released today alongside a wistful music video directed by Ben Turok.

“‘Magic Of The Sale’ is about the endurance of pain and what you would sacrifice to relieve it,” says the band. “It’s facing judgment for how you process the pain in our lives and the turmoil that follows.”
