Devil’s Music

Released in 2010, Devil’s Music represents the Teddybears at their most collaborative and commercially sharp. Following the international success of 'Soft Machine,' this album doubles down on the band's signature 'toy-tronica' and rock-dance fusion. The record is notable for its high-profile guest list, which serves as a testament to the band's influence in the industry; it features contributions from Iggy Pop, CeeLo Green, The B-52s, and Eve. Sonically, it leans heavily into Big Beat and Synth-pop, utilizing heavily compressed drum loops and distorted sawtooth synths. The track 'Rocket Scientist' became a significant sync success, appearing in various media including the television show Breaking Bad. While the album maintains the band's punk roots through its irreverent tone and aggressive mixing, it is polished for a mainstream audience, positioning the Teddybears as architects of a specific brand of high-energy, sample-heavy 'stadium electronic' music.
