I’ve been sitting on an interview with Baby Teeth from August 6 of this past summer. Eventually I’ll post it here on Subanimal Sounds. Baby Teeth are an earnest but scary group of guys from Chicago, and when you get to know them they’re not so scary. Abraham Levitan is the leader, a cool-mannered, if gawky, outsider with a self-proclaimed history of obsession, if you can believe his lyrics. He started with the great girl groups of the 1960s, and found inspiration in various pockets of showbiz from there on. Abraham always has a half-smile bordering on a full-on guffaw. He means it, and isn’t bothered with the window dressing. Pitchfork reviewed Baby Teeth’s 2009 album, Hustle Beach, and in so doing quickly devolved into label-mongering and contemplating the meaning of the term “guilty pleasure.” What’s guilty about a pleasure? You either like it or you don’t. I do. Abraham sings it. I believe it.
Watch this space for the interview, to be posted sometime between now and 2020.
I’d must verify with you here. Which is not something I often do! I get pleasure from reading a post that will make folks think. Additionally, thanks for allowing me to comment!
