In music, the phrase “artists to watch” gets tossed around a lot. But these days, with so many new ways to consume music and so many new releases, what make an artist worth listening to?

For Snoh Aalegra, music has always been a deeply-rooted passion. The Persian-Swedish singer signed to Sony at the ripe age of 14 and spent most of her free time writing and working in the studio. Snoh is the type of artist you just have to lose yourself to in order to appreciate how real and full of emotion her voice is. The lyrics, though quite dark at times, are incredibly rich with honesty and maturity. When combined, the production texture aligns with Snoh’s flow and vocals, creating a sound that is all her own.

Don’t Explain, her EP produced by ARTium’s No I.D., uncovers Snoh’s life and contemplates themes such as self-discovery, love, and fears. In this exclusive Teeth Online interview, we sit down with Snoh and dive into her love of Disney, musical influences, and what’s next for this siren of soul.

What brought you to LA? You’re originally from Sweden with a beautiful Persian background.

Moving to LA was a very natural step. The best musicians, singers, producers of soul music are from the US, and a lot of them lived in LA during the peak of their careers. I wanted to find the right people to learn from and just become the best that I can be. Funny how my Persian roots are extremely well repped out here. An excellent Persian meal is always around the corner.
How did you start your career as a musician? I’ve read that while growing up, Disney was a big source of inspiration for you. Is that true?

Yeah! I was completely blown away by the Walt Disney. It was so magical growing up with those movies and the epic soundtracks. The Orchestral masterpiece of The Beauty and The Beast gives me endless goosebumps and is a big reason for why I love dramatic strings and compositions till this day. Let’s not forget Celine Dion playing that soundtrack. The Lion King soundtrack mostly written by Elton John is also another favourite of mine. Aladdin with “A Whole New World”! I mean, Disney equals magic to me.
If you were a Disney character, who would you be and why?

Well, I probably look the most like Jasmine from Aladdin because of my middle eastern descent. But I feel that I can relate more to Cinderella for some reason.

Can you dive into your writing process? Why does your music sound so dark and even sometimes heartbreaking?

I had a really tough upbringing; there were issues both at school and at home. On top of that I just love making bad choices in the dating department, but like Carrie Fisher (bless her soul), beautifully said, “Take your broken heart and make it into art”, and that’s exactly what I’m doing. It’s not all sad, though. I’m sharing both bright and dark moments.

I love the intro to your recent record ” It’s Just A Fever”. How did that track come about?

Thank you! Well, that’s my producer NO I.D. and I talking on the intro. I thought it would fun to have him on the record since we are so close. He is my main producer and executive producer of all my music.
What’s your favourite song you have ever written and why?

I think “In Your River” because it just explains my feelings, sound and voice in a natural and smooth way. It’s the song I always play first if anyone asks to hear my music. I also love the beautiful production on that song. I also have another favourite song I wrote that will come out on an upcoming project releasing later this spring called “Worse”.
You just released a new track back in November titled “Feels” which has the vocal heartbreak reminiscent of the late Amy Winehouse. What’s the story behind this new single?

Well, that’s me pouring out my love for someone very dear to me. My relationships also have a lot of magical moments, it’s not all dark and sad. With this person, the highs have been really high, and the lows are really low. “Feels” embodies the electric vibes we shared.

Do you have your favourite quote?

“Nothing worth having comes easy.”
What are your favourite RnB jams of all time?

The list is a long one. There is a way to many of them, but I will give you a few:

• Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On”.
• Nothing better than blasting “Scrubs” by TLC in the car with my girlfriends.
• The uplifting and fun jam by Dru Hill, “How Deep Is Your Love”.
• “She Got That Vibe” by R Kelly is such a classic.
• One of the best songs of all time is “That’s The Way Love Goes” by the GODDESS Janet Jackson.
• Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men “One Sweet day”.
• Also, a new favourite, “Nights” by Frank Ocean (he is on all my favourite lists in life).

 

If you could switch bodies with someone for a day, who would it be and what would you do?

I would be Anna Wintour, play tennis at 5 in the morning and walk my bad ass to work and just live that life for a minute with all that comes with it. I’m fascinated by her and the power she holds. I would not forget to put Snoh Aalegra on the cover of an issue of Vogue. I’m humble; I didn’t say the September issue.

What are you looking forward the most in 2017?

I have a lot of music coming out this year. I have two more mini albums coming to complete the trilogy following Don’t Explain and I’m featured on a bunch of other exciting projects coming. Can’t wait to share with the world.
When shall we go to Disneyland?

I love how you guys have been lurking my twitter! Ha! So crazy that I have never been as much as I’m a fan of Disney. Let’s go first thing in the morning, well first you have to fly out, so maybe this weekend?
What’s happening next for you?

I have a song coming out the end of this month that I’m super excited about. #FEELS the project is being released + another project. A lot of touring ahead of me starting at Soulquarious Festival February 18th and a few other festivals coming up. I’m touring the US and EU later this year. I have so much planned for this coming year, it feels like it will be an important year to look back on.

Hinds for Teeth Magazine

“Make the music the way you like,” says Amber Grimbergen, when asked about Hinds’ music philosophy. In the past four years, the band has gone through a lot, from learning how to play the guitar to painful heartbreaks and touring Europe and America including the festivals like Glastonbury and SXSW. Considering their homeland is Spain, it’s somewhat uncommon that the band gain traction abroad. However, Ana Perrote, Carlotta Cosials, Ade Martin and Amber are living proof that everything is possible if you believe in what you do.

Hinds were initially named “Deers”, though they had to change it after the threat of legal action from a similarly named band. While recording under the name Deers, the band has released two 7-inch recordings with just four songs. After the name change, the girl released LP Leave Me Alone in 2016 and a few singles, including the newest “Holograma”.

Hinds started as a duo but turned ultimately formed into a four-piece. “We were still called Deers when we transformed into a four-piece: Ade was Ana and Carlota’s best friend, and I was found via Facebook and joined a little over two years ago, ” says Amber. Hinds songs are fun, and an all-girl approach allows them to be themselves, as they exhibit in their homemade music videos.

---

Where do you find your inspiration?

Amber: We love to watch live shows! We learn a lot about seeing other bands, the way they work and do things. We also try to stay as long as we can at festivals when play them and see as many bands as we can.
What’s your first memory of music?

Amber: I’ve always been surrounded by music. Both of my parents are professional musicians too, and I started going to music schools since I was six years old.
What do you do for fun apart from playing music?

Amber: I like to take pics of whatever and believe it or not I like to travel around when I’m not on tour! (laughs).
What song are you playing on repeat now?

Amber: Lately, I literally can’t stop playing “Sorry” from Liss.

Ade: “Baby, Baby” by The Lemon Twigs.
What is something that people would be surprised to know about you?

Amber: I’m probably the clumsiest person on this planet.

Ade: I love tennis.
There many good bands/artists in Spain. Who should be on our radar?

Amber: Yes! There’re so many good bands here: The Parrots, Los Nastys, El Ultimo Vecino, Novedades Carminha, Sensenra, Alien Tango, Baywaves.
What is the explanation behind the new single “Holograma”?

Amber: It’s a cover of one of the bands mentioned in the last question. It’s originally from Los Nastys, it’s one of the first songs Ana and Carlotta used to cover, so we decided to record it as a little Homenaje.

What advice do you have for the other young musicians out there trying to make it in the music industry?

Amber: Keep working and take it as a serious job since the first day.
If your music were a drink, what drink would it be?

Amber: Obviously, beer!
You guys have been on tour for so long. What’s the best and the worst part about being on tour?

Amber: The best part I think is getting to know awesome people anywhere you go, but it’s also kinda the worst part. It’s hard having friends all around the world and barely see them.
What’s the wildest thing that has happened so far?

Amber: Ha! It’s hard to think of one thing. Our tour manager’s appendix exploded, and we had a terrible time as you can imagine (laughs).
What’s been your favourite show that you’ve played?

Amber: In April we played a huge birthday show in Madrid celebrating two years of Hinds and Twin Peaks joined us. Everything went just perfect that night!
What are some of your favourite cities to play?

Amber: London has always treated us very well, but Berlin and New York are excellent places to play too.

If you could hear one of your songs being covered by any band/musician, who would you choose to cover it?

Amber: Glass Animals, please!
What was the inspiration behind “Bamboo”?

Amber: Ana and Carlota wrote it one night they were very mad with their respective boyfriends (laughs). Believe it or not, it’s an angry song.
The video for ” Warts” is fascinating and different from the others. How did it come about?

Amber: The song is a true story of a close friend, so we kinda thought about how to make a “short film” telling the story (laughs). We worked with an excellent director too called Pedro Martin-Calero.
What would you like to accomplish in this new year?

Amber: Well, we may put some new stuff out in 2017!

Seeing Double: An Interview with The Garden

Music — 06.12.16

Words: Emilia Slupecka
Photography: Anna Jarosz

The Garden brothers jumped on a stage full of glitter at London’s Moth Club all dressed up as classic card characters. The show was wild, and their energy was fierce and infectious. I met Wyatt and his identical twin brother Fletcher just before their show, we played around in a photo booth and chatted music, hard times while growing up, and mysterious voices.

These California-born musicians are casting spells across the world, but they both also have solo projects, Enjoy (Wyatt) and Puzzle (Fletcher). “We do Puzzle and Enjoy alone and then we do The Garden together. The songs [we create] are about different things and cover topics that we typically would not cover in The Garden, about the relationships and stuff”, explains Wyatt.

---

Can you please tell me about your first memory of music? I read that your dad played in a punk band. Has it influenced the music you play now?

Wyatt: He played in some punk bands. Maybe consciously, but it wasn’t like ‘My dad played in the band, and I wanna do it too’ – it just kind of like you grew up listening to music that’s around, and then you follow to whoever you wanna be.
Did growing up in California have any significant impact on you?

Wyatt: It depends on what part you live in. Up north, you get a lot of woods and trees, but it’s colder. Down south, it’s beachy, sunny and the water is pretty consistent. We live in the south of California, so growing out there I had pretty decent upbringing.

Fletcher: We had a normal childhood.
What inspired you two to become musicians?

Fletcher: I don’t think I was inspired necessarily, maybe a little bit more just doing something to do something. I can’t remember the original inspiration. I was just doing it for me personally. I mean, I would listen to punk bands in really early age, but other than that I don’t think we were like super inspired to become musicians.
Do you remember a favourite moment in your teens?

Wyatt: To be honest being a teenager wasn’t that fun. I might have had a lot of more fun after when life started moving and when we got a little bit older. Being a teenager was just kind of a nut.

Fletcher: It was relatively restricting at times, just based on our young age.

Wyatt: It was hard to get things done for us in at a young age. We were always like fighting to do what we needed to do. We tried to get somewhere that we wanted to go. There was always something holding us back, so it’s like now we’re like we can do what we gotta do.

What’s it like to have a twin? More fun?

Wyatt: As far as growing up as a twin, you don’t know any difference because you’re a twin. I can’t put myself in other people shoes. For me, it’s completely normal. In the fashion industry, they like that you’re twins because it’s interesting, so does the music industry. It doesn’t really affect what we do personally. We don’t think about it.
I know you guys have been discovered by Hedi Slimane and did your first steps in fashion industry walking down Saint Laurent show. Do you consider this as a breakthrough moment?

Wyatt: Not necessarily. What that this for us was cool and put us in front of the audience, but also is into music, which is great! The time we had worked with this brand was good, but it’s over now. We continue to do what we do based on who we are and based on the connections we make. It was a good moment to have and walk the runway a couple of times, but we’ve done enough with the brand. We’ve moved on, and we’re now onto new things.

Fletcher: That came along sort of randomly.
You have been on tour for a while now. Do you enjoy coming back to Europe? What’s your favourite place to play?

Wyatt: Oh yeah, I do but it’s hard to say – there’s so many! There are definitely places I’d like to go.

Fletcher: There’s a venue in Germany, I always forget the name. It’s an old, Roman looking.

Wyatt: It’s called Prizipal.

Fletcher: I like playing Denmark, Sweden, and Italy. I like playing all the countries because every country is a little different. Everywhere you see something you like specifically.
Are there any places you don’t like?

Fletcher: It’s maybe not like I don’t like it, but more like I don’t understand. There are places I don’t like in the US. Not that I have anything against those states, they just are not really that fun for me to play or travel to. They all start looking the same after a while, so I get bored of them. Don’t get us wrong; we’re fine everywhere. It doesn’t matter if one place has this amazing scene and one place doesn’t. It’s just you make your fun wherever you are.
What’s the wildest thing that happened so far?

Fletcher: It’s been a lot of things. I mean the tour itself is just kind of a weird thing in general, so when you kind of put it all together… I mean our performance is not necessarily mellow either. Usually, there’s some sort of chaos, whether is from us or the audience. It’s hard to say what the wildest weird moment would be because every tour is weird.

Wyatt: Yeah, there are like crazy bad things that happened and also crazy good things that have happened.

What’s the driving force behind the new single “Call This Number Now“?

Wyatt: I don’t think there was a driving force because when making a song we went with a sort of loose mindset. I just wanted to make something that just has this goofy, sleazy sound.

Do you like dressing up? Because you both look pretty theatrical at the shows and your videos.

Wyatt: I think it’s a part of who we are, at least when we’re on stage. Even when we’re not wearing anything, we’re always pretty theatrical. Sometimes I guess it’s just costume. If there’s not a costume, I guess it’s just like being your own personal characters.
If you could work with anyone, either alive or dead who would it be and why?

Wyatt: I like voices. I’m not really into working with another kind of musician, but voices would be good. Either Del the Funky Homosapien’s voice or there’s a guys voice in Jurassic V the rap group from the 90s. He has an excellent voice, a broadcaster kind of voice.

Fletcher: Yeah, voices are good. I always really liked MIA’s.
What’s the plan for the rest of the year?

Wyatt: The US tour and then another Europe tour, releasing a couple more singles and then eventually we will release a new album next year.
What’s your spirit animal?

Wyatt: Probably something tall.

Fletcher: A worm.

GOTH BABE {EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW/ ARTIST TO WATCH}

(WORDS BY EMILY SLUPECKA / PHOTOGRAPHY BY PHOENIX JOHNSON)

Nashville is mostly known for the country music and people dressed all in cowboy boots. But these days Tennessee capital is bustling with many new garage rock bands! “Nashville is such a magical place as far as the scene goes, it’s really tightly wound and everyone sees or hears about anything anyone does artistically,whether they know the artist or not” explains the frontman of Goth BabeGriffin Washburn. The City of Nashville is definitely a place where you as a musician can make things happen.

Former The Lagoons frontman Griffin Washburn, after moving to Nashville from Memphis wanted to try a new heavier sound. He wrote some lyrics and gathered up his homies Curtis Johnson, Luke Schloemer and Nic Jiosa ,and that’s how Goth Babe was born!

The band formed in January this year are not stopping for a second and already released the EP “Wasted Time” including the magical and fuzzed up track “Sunshine”.  “You took my hand, I let you shine. Feet in the sand, your heart is mine” sings Washburn and then he adds up “Cause your my, sunshine.”

Goth Babe dropped the new single “Dazed” couple of weeks back from their upcoming new EP “Shall We” out October the 1st!

Can you please introduce yourself and tell us how did you start being a band? How did you guys meet?  

Griffin Washburn: My name is Griffin Washburn and I started the project at the very beginning of this year when I moved to Nashville from Memphis, TN. I picked up my live band from just asking good friends of mine to help me play shows,basically, they were all awesome and were in on it.

What’s your first memory of music? 

Griffin Washburn: Oh man, I think my first memory of music is from skateboarding videos. I was really obsessed with skating growing up and of course that turned me on to some awesome music, I was really fortunate there.

Where do you find your inspiration most? 

Griffin Washburn: I mostly find my inspiration from the feelings that I get when I listen to songs that make me feel alive in an exaggerated way. When I’m writing music for my next EP or Singe, I normally make a playlist of songs that give me one particular feeling, and I only allow myself to listen to that playlist until I feel like that feeling of being alive has translated over to my music.

What’s a goal to accomplish this year? 

Griffin Washburn: My one goal for the rest of this year is to put out my upcoming EP titled “Shall We” and tour at least two more times. Maybe get a dog or something too, I kind of am really obsessed with dogs currently.

Nashville’s music scene is absolutely crazy! In a town where a large portion of the population is involved in the music industry, either as talent or in the production or promotion of talent. Do you think artists who want to find success have to be highly competitive? Would you ever move to New York as the music scene there is insane as well? 

Griffin Washburn: Nashville is such a magical place as far as the scene goes, it’s really tightly wound and everyone sees or hears about anything anyone does artistically, whether they know the artist or not, but with that being said, that makes it really cut throat. People either hate you here or they love you here, and I guess if you get either of which you should be grateful you’re getting anything, because it’s still a big city. But I’m very fortunate to grow in an art environment where the standard is so high, I feel like getting respect here makes getting respect anywhere else look so easy.  And I would love to stay in Nashville for at least two more years, moving to Austin or New York would be my next step, still deciding!

 

How did “Sunshine” come about? It’s literally my favourite song! Feels so summery!  

Griffin Washburn: Thank you! Sunshine is a song I wrote a LONG time ago when I was still in high school, I just thought it fit my stuff back in January well so I went through with recording and releasing it with Wasted Time.

If you had to describe Goth Babe in 3 words, what would they be? 

Griffin Washburn: Hard Working, Alpha Male, Jackhammer

If you could work with anyone either alive or dead, who would it be and why? 

Griffin Washburn: If someone gave me the opportunity to play guitar for New Order when they play “Age of Consent” I would most definitely take it. But only that song, I don’t know any others.

You just did a little tour! Please, tell me what’s the best part and what’s the worst part about touring? 

Griffin Washburn: Yeah! We went to LA it was too perfect. The best part of the tour is the feeling of freedom and almost feeling like there’s nothing else in the world that makes more sense than touring.  The worst part is having a dead phone all the time because there’s not enough charging outlets in one car for four people, but that’s STILL fun so idk about the worst part really.

What’s the song you keep playing on the repeat now? 

Griffin Washburn: Currently its: Sun Burn by Dirty Art Club

What are you currently working on? 

Griffin Washburn: Right now I’m working on releasing another EP and planning out our tour to NY in October, WHOOHOO.

What’s your spirit animal?

Griffin Washburn: Bug

Tangerines for Nakid Magazine

TANGERINES {EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW/NEW MUSIC}

WORDS BY EMILY SLUPECKA

“I’ve been always scared to listen to all these legendary bands cause I thought its gonna disappoint me. First, you think they are kind of experience but then when you put them on, you realise they are just another band” explains Isaac Robson about his early music influences while we chat in the garden near London’s Brixton Underground Station.

South London based Tangerines are four piece band formed by Gareth Hoskins, Isaac Robson, Miles Prestia and Ricky Clark. Tangerines’ music might seem a bit odd with 21st London psychedelic beats, however, these guys are live prove that rock’n’roll is NOT dead yet!

How did you start being a band? How did you meet?

Isaac Robson: I’ve known Gareth for so long , when we were still kids, maybe like 10. I went to school with him. The first band I’ve ever played in was with Gareth, so I guess we played a lot together. We made a lot of music together. Gareth asked me to play the drums for him after he split up with his last band,so we were jamming for a while.We had all these songs, and we kinda started looking other people to play with us. That how we met Ricky through our manager Pete at Gun Factory in Stoke Newington studios.

Ricky Clark : Yeah, he was talking about the party and….

Gareth Hoskins : A few months later I met Miles down the road from here [Brixton] we were both pretty fucking drunk or high.

Miles Prestia: It was like 4 in the morning.

Gareth Hoskins: During the conversation, I said “Do you play the guitar?” and he played the guitar. That was it. Then he came along, tried some stuff out at the studio in Primrose Hill and then we ended up doing shit.

Isaac Robson: I think the special moment was when we were the first time in the room together to record.

Gareth Hoskins: It was quite magical.

What is your first memory of music?

Gareth Hoskins:It’s probably my dad playing records,maybe when I was like 4-5. T. Rex on vinyl and I was just like dancing around in my gym-jams.

Isaac Robson: My mom had an album which was the best punk album in the world ever and had some awful title “Milk and Alcohol” by Dr. Feelgood. The first record I’ve ever heard was “Red, Red Wine” by UB40 (laughs)

Ricky Clark: My dad was really into his blues.I remember getting into David Bowie from my mom. She was massive into David Bowie, Blondie. I was pretty obsessed with Michael Jackson when I was really young. I used to dress like him and try to dance.

Miles Prestia :My dad used to be a music promoter for 30 years and he’d put down gigs, and literally I can’t remember if he put on this gig, or he took me there because I was maybe like three, I think it was Rufus Thomas.My mom and dad would tell me; he is the king of soul.

What musician or band inspired you to become a musician?

Miles Prestia: Jimmy Page

Gareth Hoskins : I didn’t think about the popularity behind it I just wanted to play some fucking good music and the music that was so great when I was growing up. There is tons of fucking music that influenced me anyway.  The Velvet Underground, Talking Heads.

Isaac Robson: I always found it doesn’t really matter who it is but when you find that next piece of music you’ve never heard and you just get a rush from hearing it. I think that was a thing that made me do music.

Ricky Clark: I remember when I first heard Cream. They’re from the 60s and they just sounded so cool!

How did ” Skin Dives” come about?

Gareth Hoskins: I did like a demo of it entirely on my own, probably in my bedroom. It’s quite a druggy song, it’s quite nasty but sort of colorful rock’n’roll tune.

If your life were a movie, what movie would it be?

Isaac Robson: Bat Man ForeverBat Man Forever

Miles Prestia: Mystery Train

Ricky Clark: Rope

Gareth Hoskins: Any Fellini films, 8 1/2

What are you currently working on?

Ricky Clark : New album really, we’ve got so many songs now.

Gareth Hoskins: I think we just now writing towards the second album, even though the first album is not even mixed yet.

What song are you playing on repeat now?

Isaac Robson: Alice Coltrane

Miles Prestia: Wooly Bully

Ricky Clark: Psycho Candy, David Bowie- Young Americans

Gareth Hoskins: Lazycame

Ty Segall for Nakid Mag

 

Ty Segall is one of those artists you can’t just simply miss. Ty and his new band The Muggers has been on tour since mid-January and finally arrived at London’s venue, The Forum, on June the 24th to rock the fuck out. For those desperately wanting to see the band live, they should know that Ty’s concerts are crude, and he gives you a proper head banging, body shaking, ear-splitting real-good-time performance. Earlier this year the California-born musician released his new album “Emotional Mugger” full of abrasive synthesisers and blazing guitar solos. Ty taking the stage at his sold-out Friday night show played the role of rock & roll bandleader to the hilt. He stared at a fixed point in space somewhere back beyond the soundboard – surprisingly, Segall didn’t pick up a guitar for the entire show. The floor was shaking, and everyone was moving in the rhythm of woozy guitar and hard drum beats that make your insides shake. The young fan base, out for the all-ages show in force, responded to the new material enthusiastically, doing stage-diving, crowd-surfing, moshing and jumping throughout the set. Segall and The Muggers played very powerfully, a sardonic, hilarious, punk-inspired live show – playing “Emotional Mugger” in its entirety, front to back, but might have been a little bit of a disappointment for Ty’s fans though. The show was full of emotion, and it wasn’t very hard to just space out and totally feel the music.

At the very end, Ty Segall and The Muggers were full of romantic vibes, playing “Feel”, however, the band smashed the song with a brilliant instrumental solo. The band played two extra songs “Fingers” and “The Feels”, unexpectedly, Ty himself took over the drums and the drummer Evan Burrows sang the last song! His performance was enigmatic, confrontational and affectionate, sometimes all in the same gesture. Ty’s vocals sounded more powerful and dynamic than on the record, but the most of all, I loved the woozy guitars. Lovely undertones connected with filthy grungy drums. Segall and The Muggers are like a secret weapon, heard but not seen, entirely hidden in tangles.
