Teeth Dreams

The Hold Steady

A heavy, guitar-dense exploration of adult anxiety and urban paranoia. The Hold Steady swaps bar-room piano for a triple-guitar wall of sound.

March 25, 2014 · Razor & Tie

Find on Amazon

A heavy, claustrophobic sense of adult paranoia delivered through a thick wall of overdriven guitars.

Moments Worth Listening For
The massive, interlocking guitar riffs that open the album, signaling a heavier and more claustrophobic shift in sound.
The slow, creeping nine-minute build of Oaks which trades their usual bar-rock anthems for a sprawling, atmospheric dread.
The way the backing vocals swell during the chorus of Spinners, providing a brief melodic lift in an otherwise gritty arrangement.
