Milk White White Teeth – Ingrid Won’t Smile

By Craig Smith • Jul 14th, 2010 • Category: Webcut of the Week

For a band who’ve been around (in this incarnation at least) since December 2008, it would be more apt to call this Leeds-based 8-piece collective Milk White White Baby Teeth but Milk White White Teeth it is. “Ingrid Won’t Smile” is their debut 7″ release, once again cherry-picked for greatness by the taste-makers at the Too Pure Singles Club. The allure of “Ingrid…” lies in that snug calypso swing. The swirl of brass and keys, the soaring vocals, the vibrant percussive rattle… the fact it has a girl’s name in the title — all perfect pop song ingredients. Similar in style to Arcade Fire’s “Haiti”, “Ingrid…” has more of a grounding in classic 80′s British pop like Orange Juice and Haircut 100, but maybe that’s just me… Unfortunately, there’s no official clip as such for the track as yet, this Radio 1 session version will have to do.

• The Too Pure Singles Club returns in 2012 with a bang (or is that a rattle) with the sound of Icelandic mantra magicians Dead Skeletons. For the uninitiated, Dead Skeletons came into existence in 2008 when band member Jon Saamunder needed music for an art installation in the Reykjavik Art Museum. Enlisting the help of friends Henrik Bjornsson and Ryan Carlson Van Kriedt the trio penned the songs which would eventually become the Dead Magick album, a 72 minute, 12 song journey through space and time, life and death. “Om Mani Peme Hung” is the sound of Neu! on a meditation retreat engaging in a spiritual hypno-chant. Now repeat after me… Om Mani Peme Hung, Om Mani Peme Hung, Om Mani Peme Hung… (subscribe to the Too Pure Singles Club here).
